Cash, Phones and a Taser Seized in Wide-Ranging Searches
The operation didn’t stop there. Officers executed two more warrants on Upper Fant Road and Snowdon Avenue. Early searches uncovered large sums of cash, stacks of mobile phones, and even a Taser, all handed over to police as evidence.
Chief Inspector Sends Stern Warning to Criminals
All suspects have been hauled into custody over supply offences. District Commander Chief Inspector Gary Woodward laid down the law: “Today’s action is part of our long game to hunt down criminals who think they can run Maidstone’s streets without consequence.”
“We are making it tougher for these offenders to take root and are committed to keeping our communities safe. Let this be a warning—if you see Maidstone as a crime hotspot, think again. You will be caught, charged, and jailed.”
