A knife and mobile phones were also discovered in the vehicle.

A police spokesman said: "Working with a police dog, officers found a concealed bag in the car, containing cash, between 60 and 80 wraps of suspected class A drugs, three mobile phones and a locking knife."

The drugs were unearthed from beneath the gear stick, during the search on Wednesday.

A 22-year-old man from London was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug, and possession of a bladed article.

A spokesman for the force added: "He has been released under investigation while enquiries by Kent Police’s County Lines and Gangs Team continue."
