Police officers have seized suspected class A and class B drugs and arrested a man after a car was chased to a stop in Broadstairs on Saturday (February 24).

Patrols spotted a vehicle in St Peter’s Road at around 2.20am but the driver failed to stop when requested to by officers.

The driver eventually came to a halt in front of some road bollards. A police car then moved so the vehicle could not be reversed.

Officers searched the car and seized cannabis, white powder believed to be cocaine and drugs-related paraphernalia.

A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs, possession of drugs of class B or C, driving when unfit through drink or drugs, driving without insurance, failing to stop when directed and obstructing a police officer.

The man was later bailed pending further enquiries.
