A teenager and middle-aged woman have been arrested after suspected class A drugs were found in a property in Canterbury.
Police officers carried out a search warrant at an address in Roper Road at 11.30am today after residents reported concerns about anti-social behaviour and drug use.
Suspected drugs were seized and a 56-year-old woman from Canterbury and a 17-year-old boy from London were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
Sergeant Richard Lorimer said: "This is just one of the ways in which we proactively tackle drug-dealing in the county and I hope it will re-assure local residents that we will respond to people's concerns and target those who are intent on breaking the law."
