Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Trident unit made the arrests and the men remain in custody.

"I was surprised to say the least, I had no idea what was going on. They walked down and then turned into an alleyway."

In Gravesend, a picture emerged of three Metropolitan Police vans in Ruffets Wood although police couldn't confirm whether an arrest was carried out.
