A man has been arrested after a large amount of cannabis and two potential weapons were found in a car.

The vehicle was stopped in Sandwich after officers spotted a faulty rear light near the A265 at Richborough Road on Friday, August 19.

After approaching the vehicle to speak to the driver about the fault, grounds were raised to carry out a search under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

A large amount of cannabis, two Stanley-type knives and other items were subsequently seized as part of an ongoing investigation.

A 30-year-old man from the Deal area was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs, driving without insurance, driving without a licence and possession of a bladed article.

He has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

The car was seized due to it not having valid insurance.
