Drug dealers and users: you better watch out - because Buster and Bob are out and about!

The crime-fighting canines are on a roll after helping secure three arrests in one night - two for class A drug possession and one for possession with intent to supply.

The dogged pair were part of an operation across north Kent earlier this month, including Gravesend, Swanscombe and Rochester.

In total, 19 stop searches were executed with assistance from the doggy duo, which in addition to the arrests resulted in one cannabis warning and a penalty notice for disorder for the possession of cannabis.

A further 13 licensed premises were visited that night.

Buster and Bob, a golden Labrador and a brown Chesapeake, were described by police as passive dogs with excellent search skills, and have attracted a small fan base on Facebook with their success attracting over 350 likes.
