Four people were arrested on Wednesday morning after police raided an address in South Ashford.

Officers raided a flat in Godfrey Walk and arrested two men, both aged 29, for the possession of cannabis and for suspected theft.

The warrant was carried out after concerns were raised by neighbours about suspected drug dealing. Two bicycles, believed to be stolen, were also seized from the property.

During the raid, a 24-year-old man who was cycling past the address was also searched and arrested after officers found drugs in this backpack. A 21-year-old man was also arrested nearby in connection with a witness intimidation offence.

All four are still being questioned in custody. The raid is part of a borough-wide operation by police to target crime and anti-social behaviour. Additional resources including the police dog unit, motorcycle unit and special constables have been helping with the operation.

Four people were arrested for suspected drug, theft and vehicle crimes after raids at four homes in St Teresa's Close on Monday morning. They have been released on bail pending further enquiries. Three others were arrested during the week for various offences.

District commander Chi Insp Hayley Spedding said: "This is a wide-reaching operation designed to deter, disrupt and prevent criminals committing offences in the Ashford area.

"My officers and I are committed to tackling all forms of crime and anti-social behaviour and bringing those responsible to justice."

A woman arrested following a warrant yesterday has been charged.

Bianca Rose Cheese, 36, of Whitfield Road Ashford was charged with possession of cannabis and is due before Canterbury Magistrates on July 30.
