A man and a woman have been charged after they were found with heroin, crack cocaine and a large kitchen knife.

Gravesham's community policing team were on a routine patrol when they received reports of drug dealing going on in Waterton Avenue, Gravesend, on Thursday, November 22.

The officers found around 100 wraps of what was believed to be heroin and crack cocaine when the pair were stopped, at around 5pm, in a children's play area.
