A teenager who hid almost 30 wraps of Class A drugs inside “a yellow plastic egg” has been arrested by plain clothes officers at a train station.

Two constables from the Tonbridge Community Policing team were on patrol at around 12.35pm on Tuesday when they noticed a person enter one of the platforms in Tonbridge on a bike which had no saddle - leading them to suspect it may have been stolen.

A police spokesman said: “Officers followed the man as he suddenly exited the station into Barden Road, where he was questioned about his movements.

“A search was carried out which led to the discovery of a purple pot from his waistband area. Inside the pot was a yellow plastic egg, containing 29 individual street deals of suspected heroin.”

A "small blade" was also recovered.

The suspect, 19, from the Dover area, was arrested for possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.

He has been released, pending the outcome of further investigation by British Transport Police.
