A stash of heroin worth £16,000 was found hidden behind a car dashboard by police.

Officers at the Channel Tunnel stopped a car in the early hours of Thursday when they discovered 1.6 kilos of the Class A drug.

A total of two men were arrested and were due to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Friday after being remanded in custody.
