A suspected drug dealer, arrested after police seized 24 wraps of cocaine and more than £650 in Tonbridge, is to appear at crown court.
Patrol officers became suspicious of a car travelling along Lodge Oak Lane in the town at 11.30pm on Monday, and later found it had been left in Hartlake Road.
When a taxi pulled up at The Poacher and Patridge pub, a short distance down the road, the officers approached and spoke to a man who had got into the back.
Following a search, they seized the wraps, cash and a mobile phone.
Moustafa Bolat, of no fixed address, was arrested in connection with the incident and was later charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply.
The 22-year-old appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and was remanded ahead of a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on November 27.
