A 21-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, both from the Dover area, were arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply. They have since been bailed.

Police Constable Matt Hawkes from the Dover Community Policing Team said: "This warrant was the latest action in our ongoing fight to disrupt people who are involved in the use of illegal drugs in the Dover district."

Special Constable Simon Revell said: "At the beginning of the year members of the Kent Special Constabulary received training in searching people, premises and vehicles and since then have assisted Dover Community Policing Team and local officers on a number of drug warrants including the successful search today, where Special Constables were responsible for finding some of the items seized.

"Officers from the Special Constabulary will continue to work with the Community Policing Team and local officers in tackling issues that are key to the Dover community," he added.

If you have information about illegal drug use, you can contact Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously, or speak to your local police community support officer.
