A suspected drug dealer has been charged after police seized a lock knife and 10 wraps of cocaine during a search of a car.

Officers stopped the vehicle in Bouverie Road West, Folkestone, at about 12.20pm yesterday.

Inside the motor, they found wraps containing the illicit substance inside a plastic egg, along with a blade.

During the search, they also discovered high-value clothing, electrical items and two mobile phones, before arresting a man.

Dover resident Daniel McKenna has since been charged with possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply, possession of a bladed article and possession of criminal property.

The 38-year-old, of Durban Crescent, has been remanded in custody to appear at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court today.
