The stop check carried out by the town's local policing team led to drugs being recovered along with more than £8,000 cash.

Shortly before midday on Tuesday, officers pulled the car over and a subsequent search found "a large quantity of steroids", police said today.

Inquiries led officers to carry out two search warrants – one in Gravesend and the other in Swanscombe – where more steroids were found.

The cash and watches were seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

A man and woman both in their 30s were arrested and have been released under investigation after being questioned by officers.
