Drugs with an estimated street value of up to £100,000 have been seized from houses in Ramsgate.

Three Ramsgate men and a man from London have been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

Officers raided a home in the town's D'este Road on Friday morning, seizing substances believed to be cocaine, MDMA and cannabis, along with associated equipment.

They then went to a house in King Street where they found what is believed to be heroin.

A 47-year-old man and two 24-year-old men from Ramsgate, and a 21-year-old man from London, were taken into police custody.

Kent Police detective Sergeant Keith Taylor said: This is good work carried out by officers.

"We estimate the drugs seized today could be worth in total as much as £100,000.

"That is a significant amount of drugs that have been stopped from getting onto our streets and affecting the community.

"I would urge anyone who suspects drug activity near them to report it to police."
