The theft of a laptop in a car park resulted in police seizing 700 grams of Class A drugs and two arrests.

Officers were called to Ivy Lane, Canterbury, where the device was stolen after it had been arranged to be sold.

The victim was left empty-handed when he realised the buyer had paid with counterfeit cash.

Police were called to the scene shortly before 5pm on Sunday.

Following an investigation into the theft, officers stopped a vehicle in Waterham Road later the same evening.

Those in the car - a 21-year-old man from Canterbury and a 20-year-old man from London - were arrested in connection with the counterfeit currency.

More than 700 grams of suspected Class A drugs, as well as two kilos of cannabis, scales, a mobile phone and small deal bags were found and seized following the arrests.

The 21-year-old was further arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs and cannabis with intent to supply.

He was released on bail until December 21 and the 20-year-old was released under investigation.
