Bodyworn footage shows the moment a topless drug dealer was arrested and his weapons seized as police raided his home.

Daniel Bruford had been operating multiple cocaine supply lines across west Kent, known as the Scarface network.

For almost a year, the 27-year-old used several phones to make more than 32,000 calls and messages advertising cocaine and then used runners to deliver the drugs through a system of texts and postcodes.

He was arrested during the early hours of September 27, when officers raided his home in Mount Pleasant Court, Hildenborough.

Bodyworn footage showed the moment the force broke through the yellow front door and detained Bruford, who was topless and pushed against a wall.

During the search, officers found several weapons, including samuari swords, nunchucks, a spear, knuckle dusters, machetes and an extendable baton.

Cocaine deals and more than £1,100 in cash were also seized.

Within 24 hours of his arrest, Bruford pleaded guilty at Medway Magistrates’ Court to being concerned in the supply of cocaine between October 2023 and September 2024.

He also admitted possessing criminal property, namely the seized cash, as well as charges of possessing offensive weapons.

Bruford was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court last Wednesday (February 12) to five years and six months’ imprisonment.

He will also be the subject of a financial investigation under the Proceeds of Crime Act, to claw back any criminal gains resulting from his offending.

PC James O’Gorman, who led the case, said: “The evidence against Bruford was damning.

“Our analysis of his phones led to the retrieval of messages and voice notes discussing prices and quantities of drugs, as well as several threats of serious violence.

“The wide array of weapons seized from his home were also an indication of the lengths he was prepared to go to enforce and protect his criminal operation.

“Criminals like Bruford think nothing of the despair and misery they bring to our communities.

“However, as this case demonstrates we are continuing to relentlessly target and disrupt their activities, and we know the work we are doing is making it much harder for dealers to establish a foothold.”
