A gambling table, suspected to be rigged, has been seized at the Port of Dover.

The object, along with a large magnet, remote control, dice, playing cards and an envelope containing cash, was confiscated by Kent Police after a driver was stopped on his way into the UK from France.

The discovery was on Monday, October 26.
