Police have seized class A drugs estimated to have a street value of more than £5,000.

A man and a woman were arrested in Margate after officers also found cash, scales and other drug paraphernalia at a home.

Police were on patrol in the Dane Valley area yesterday morning when they saw people behaving suspiciously near a car.

A spokesman said: "A search of the vehicle resulted in officers finding a wrap of suspected class A drugs.

"Further inquiries at a property in Margate town centre led to the team uncovering large quantities of class A and B drugs, including an individual block of suspected cocaine with an estimated street value of over £5,000.

"Cash, scales, bags and other items usually associated with drug dealing were also seized."

A 27-year-old man from Margate and a 24-year-old woman from Canterbury were both arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply.

They have been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
