A sixth person has been charged as part of a Kent Police investigation into a suspected drugs network operating in the east of the county. Officers arrested a man in St Margaret’s at Cliffe near Dover on the morning of Wednesday, 9 October 2024, after detectives identified a mobile phone number believed to be linked to drug dealing activities.
The phone number in question was reportedly used to contact known drug users in Dover and surrounding areas between April and October 2024.
On Thursday, 10 October, David Dunn, 33, of West Street, Dover, was charged with being concerned in the supply of heroin, crack cocaine, and cocaine. He appeared before Margate Magistrates’ Court the same day and was remanded in custody, with a further appearance scheduled at Canterbury Crown Court.
This follows the earlier arrest of three men, who were charged with conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine after police executed searches in Dover, Deal, Ramsgate, Chartham, and Dymchurch on 12 September. These men are due to appear at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday, 14 October.
Additionally, two 17-year-old boys from Dover, both charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, are scheduled to appear at Medway Youth Court on Friday, 18 October. One of the teenagers is also facing charges for being concerned about the supply of crack cocaine.
The investigation remains ongoing.
