A suspected drug dealer was arrested after police seized suspected crack cocaine, cash and a mobile phone.

Officers patrolling the Kingsmead Road area in Canterbury yesterday approached three men when they spotted suspicious activity nearby.

The illicit substance, money and phone were seized after they searched the individuals.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.

Acting sergeant Richard Lorimer said: "We are committed to disrupting and shutting down the drug-dealing networks that target vulnerable people in our communities and I am pleased that, in this instance, Class A drugs and criminal cash have been removed from circulation in Canterbury."

The suspect has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Police are urging anyone who believes drug-dealing is taking place in their area to call them on 101, or 999 if a crime is in progress.
