Bricks of heroin found after Maidstone drug search

Packages thought to contain at least 1.5kg of heroin have been seized after police searched a car.

Plain clothes officers saw a known drug user approach the vehicle parked in Sandling Road, Maidstone on Monday, March 19.

They seized a mobile phone from the car and when the officers later searched a connected address they found a large quantity of cash and the suspected heroin.

The value of the drugs will depend on their purity but it is thought they are worth over £10,000.

Officers also seized a stun-gun, a knife and a bottle containing a noxious substance.

Four men were arrested in connection with the suspected drugs and weapons. Two have since been released under investigation and the others remain in police custody while the investigation is ongoing.
