A police dog helped find cocaine, heroin and £5,000 of cash hidden inside a home.
Officers were at a property in Kitchener Avenue, Gravesend, on Monday (September 11) as part of a continuing and unrelated investigation.
When they arrived, a man was seen acting suspiciously.
He was searched and arrested after 13 wraps of class A drugs were found.
Police dog Tilly then led her handler to a bedroom where she alerted them to a purse along with other items.
Officers found three balls of suspected cocaine and heroin, as well as approximately £5,000 in cash.
Tilly also located cannabis that had been concealed under a kickboard in the kitchen.
A second man at the property was arrested.
The suspects, aged 45 and 46, were detained on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
The 46-year-old was also arrested in connection with a robbery, threats to kill, and an assault that was reported to have taken place last Saturday (September 9).
Both men have since been released on bail while inquiries continue.
