Two people have been arrested and drugs seized following a police operation.
Cannabis, suspected cocaine and an amount of cash were seized in Folkestone on Tuesday.
The incident occurred after officers from the police's County Line Team noticed suspicious activity in the Shorncliffe Road area of the town.
As well as the drugs and cash, mobile phones were seized as part of an ongoing investigation.
A 26-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
Both have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
PC Nick Webb, of the County Line Team, said: "We continue to work around Kent to identify, disrupt and shut down county line activity.
"I am pleased that the alertness of officers in this instance has led to the seizure of a large amount of illegal substances and the interruption of further drug dealing in Folkestone."
