A man has been arrested in connection with drug dealing in the Gravesend area, after police seized drugs in Northfleet.

Officers from Gravesham Local District Policing Team found the drugs after attempting to stop a van while on patrol in Northfleet on Monday, at around 11.30am.

The van had been driven away but was found later in Old Perry Street - and when officers searched the surrounding area they found and seized several bags containing white powder, believed to be Class A drugs.

A 33-year-old man from Shorne was later arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

He has been released pending further investigation.
