A teenage boy has been arrested after a man was robbed of his e-scooter in an alleyway.

The 15-year-old from Ramsgate was also detained on suspicion of drug-dealing after police seized cannabis following a search of a vehicle.

Officers were on patrol in the Margate Road area when they reportedly saw a group of people "acting suspiciously" in a parked car on Friday evening.

A search of the vehicle resulted in police seizing an amount of cannabis as well as equipment and phones believed to be used for drug dealing.

Police say a 15-year-old boy from Ramsgate and a 19-year-old man from the Canterbury area were arrested on suspicion of drug-dealing offences.

"The boy was also arrested on suspicion of robbery, in connection with an incident in which a man had his e-scooter stolen on September 14," a police spokesman added.

"The robbery was reported to have taken place in an alleyway by the Warre recreation ground in Ramsgate."

Both have been released under investigation.
