A suspected drug dealer has been arrested after the car he was driving was pulled over by police.

Officers from the local community policing team stopped the vehicle in Canterbury Road, Folkestone, on Tuesday and discovered drugs believed to be cocaine.

"The driver and vehicle were subsequently searched and a quantity of suspected cocaine and cash were located and seized," a spokesman for Kent Police said.

"This led to officers carrying out a search of a nearby property, where a further amount of suspected cocaine, around £40,000 in cash, phones and other drug dealing equipment were seized as part of an ongoing investigation."

A 31-year-old man from Folkestone was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply.

He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.
