This led to officers carrying out a search of a nearby property, where a further amount of suspected cocaine, around £40,000 in cash, phones and other drug dealing equipment were seized as part of the ongoing investigation.

A 31-year-old man from the Folkestone area was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply and has since been bailed pending further enquiries.
