Police arrested a suspected drug dealer and an alleged car thief as part of an early morning raid in a crack down on drug dealing.

Officers from the Dartford Community Policing Team raided a property on Broomfield Road in Swanscombe and arrested two men on Thursday.

They found a number of items thought to be Class A and Class B drugs.

The operation was launched after people living in the area complained about dealing going on in their neighbourhood.

An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle and a 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possessing a class A drug with intent to supply.

Officers entered the property by ramming the door down and arrested the two men.

It was announced on Friday that they have been released under investigation.

The raid took place just before 6.30am and officers searched the home and brought out a number of evidence bags which contained suspected Class A and Class B drugs.

Police also seized five suspected stolen motorbikes and discovered a car with suspected drugs inside it at the back of the property.

Sgt Nicholas Grainger, who lead the team on the raid, said: "For me and hopefully the community it has been a very big success.

"I'm very pleased with the information we got from the community leading to it and the result that we have.

"We have recovered five motorbikes which are suspected stolen and we have recovered a quantity of Class A and B drugs and associated paraphernalia to indicate the supply of those drugs into the community."

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into the supply of drugs within the Dartford area.

Anyone with information on drug supply in their area is asked to call Kent Police on 101 or make a report online here.
