A man has been arrested in a raid on a suspected town centre brothel.

Police executed a warrant at the property in Folkestone where cash and other items were seized.

The 60-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of controlling prostitution for gain and subsequently bailed pending further investigation.

A woman who was present at the property yesterday morning in Bouverie Road West was offered support by officers.
