Three arrested after drugs seized in Thanet

Three suspected drug dealers have been arrested after drugs were seized by officers in Ramsgate.

Kent Police attended Nixon Avenue on the morning of Monday 9 December 2024 after a parcel addressed to a local resident - and thought to contain cannabis - was intercepted.

Arrests made

A 61 year old woman and a 41 year old man were arrested on suspicion of the unlawful importation of Class B drugs and of cultivating cannabis, after a search led to the recovery of a number of young plants.

A further search of a nearby vehicle led to three blocks of suspected cannabis resin being seized. A 31 year old woman connected with the vehicle was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs.

All three have been bailed while enquiries continue.
