Five arrested in Dover drugs investigation

Five people have been arrested as part of an investigation into drug dealing in Dover.

Officers on patrol saw a man acting suspiciously in the London Road area on the evening of Monday 23 September 2024.

He was stopped, searched and found to be in possession of suspected cocaine. The 43-year-old was then arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs.

Property searched

Further enquiries led to a search being carried out at a nearby property, where cannabis, suspected cocaine, cash and other drugs paraphernalia were seized.

Four more men, aged between 21 and 38, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of illegal drugs.

All five people arrested have since been bailed pending further investigation.

Anyone who suspects drugs are being produced or sold in their area is urged to report it through the Kent Police website, or by calling 999 if a crime is in progress.
