A drug dealer is facing jail after police seized a large amount of cocaine worth about £600,000.
Neil Wheatley admitted being concerned in the supply of the Class A drug and possessing criminal property - £40,000 – when he appeared at Maidstone Crown Court by video link with Elmley Prison on Monday.
The 48-year-old, who worked at First & Business Class Travel in Rochester High Street, was stopped in a Mini in Gundulph Road, Chatham, on December 14 last year and a small amount of the drug was found.
A property was searched and officers found blocks of cocaine weighing about a kilo hidden in a wall, along with the cash.
Sentence was adjourned until Friday, February 15.
Wheatley, of Tuscan Drive, Lordswood, was remanded in custody.
