This is the moment a County Lines drug dealer who sold heroin and crack cocaine while on bail was arrested.

Ben Wilders, 23, has now been jailed after distributing drugs in Herne Bay, Whitstable and Folkestone - including while he was on police bail.

The moment Wilders was arrested in Whitstable

Specialist officers were working in Folkestone on August 26 last year when they stopped a suspicious Toyota they had seen in the area.

Wilders was inside, and he was arrested with a large amount of heroin and crack cocaine as well as two phones.

Analysis of messages on the phones showed they had been used in the supply of drugs for the ‘Ash’ and ‘B’ county lines into Folkestone and Herne Bay, and he was charged the following day.

While on bail, on March 22 this year, Wilders was again stopped by police - this time in Whitstable.

He was in possession of around £5,000 in cash, along with an expensive watch and clothing, and two mobile phones, one of which had been used to operate the 'Oly' drug line.

Investigating officers then visited an address in Sydney Street and as they approached, Aston Quatre-Smith, 33, ran from the property.

He was chased and arrested in possession of multiple wraps of class A drugs and about £500 in cash.

Analysis of phones suggested Wilders was bringing drugs down from south-east London, which he and Quatre-Smith were then selling in Kent using the 'Oly' county line.

At Canterbury Crown Court last Tuesday, Wilders, formerly of Halcot Avenue, Bexleyheath, was jailed for a total of four years for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

Quatre-Smith, of Cranleigh Gardens, Whitstable, received a two-year term for possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply in relation to the Whitstable offences.

Det Ch Insp Matthew Talboys, of the County Lines and Gangs Team, said: "The case of Wilders, who carried on dealing even after he was charged, shows the persistence of some of the people we are dealing with.

"Luckily my team were wise to his activity and a second set of charges has now led to a longer prison term which will prevent him and his associates preying on vulnerable drug users in Kent.

"The continued results the team brings in show our relentless focus on disrupting county line activity, shutting down networks and bringing to justice those who bring drugs into the county."
