A man from Westgate has been arrested after a parcel containing a large amount of cannabis was intercepted.
The package, believed to have originated from the USA, was stopped before it could be delivered to a property in Westgate.
Nearly a kilogram of cannabis was found inside, which has now been seized as part of an ongoing investigation.
A 31-year-old man from Westgate was arrested yesterday (June 23) on suspicion of importing a controlled drug and has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Detective Inspector Julien Lawton, of East Kent CID, said: “Importing an illegal drug is a serious offence which can lead to a lengthy jail sentence.
“I would like to warn anyone thinking of ordering illegal substances that police officers are more likely to be knocking on their doors than a postal courier.”
What an idiot, I mean… honestly?
Someone grassed him up… I’m sure theyll weed him out !!
Better than being a right Charlie, I suppose.
Thankfully he’s not blessed with a lot of brains 😂
Proof that cannabis rots your brain cells!
More likely the posties will nick it.
Totally out of order comment as a postie of 27 year,you should be praising the authorities for catching the person .
Class A drugs are not welcome in Thanet
Just a joke, like Postman Plod in Viz used to be. Although of course there are many cases on record of postal workers stealing-often for a long time, such as former Margate manager Lee Holness, who pocketed 20 grands worth of cash & goods & this clown in the link below. By the may Marijuana is not a Class A drug, it is Class B.

The fact that Jellyfish have survived for 650 million years with no brains should mean there is at least some hope for this gentleman.
