Drug dealing.

Issued 03 February 2026

We have been using a mix of high‑visibility patrols and plain‑clothes patrols to disrupt street‑level drug dealing and gather information about wider drug supply networks. Officers have used stop and search powers where appropriate to help identify those involved and build intelligence.

Information gathered through stop searches and arrests has led to several warrants being carried out in connection with drug supply in the area. We continue to target people and vehicles involved in supplying drugs and act on intelligence and reports provided by the community. Please report any concerns through the Kent Police website.
