A warrant was executed at an address in Northfleet in a major operation to crack down on the supply of class A drugs.

More than 100 officers from the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit and the Metropolitan Police raided six properties in Kent and Surrey on Wednesday.

Among them included one in Springhead Road. The operation targeted cutting agents used in the sale and supply of drugs in the south east.

Two men, both 30, from Bromley and Biggin Hill and a 23-year-old woman from Bromley were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and money laundering.

Det Sgt Steve Tattersall, of the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit, who led the warrants, said: “We continue to work with our colleagues across the region in order to crack down on the supply of drugs and items which are used in the production of drugs.

"SEROCU have seized financial documentation, computers, mobile devices and a large quantity of Boric Acid believed to be used as a cutting agent with Class A drugs.

"Although it is not illegal to possess this drug, it is an offence under the Serious Crime Act 2007 to supply these drugs without a legitimate purpose.

"It has been decreed by this act that supplying these drugs is the same as supplying class A drugs. Often items such as Benzocain, Phenaticin and Boric Acid are used as cutting agents in class A drugs such as cocaine.

"We will target those who have quantities of these and other drugs, if they do not have a legitimate reason for having them in their possession."

The three arrested were released on bail until Tuesday, July 28.
