Seven suspected members of a drug dealing network have been arrested during a series of raids in east Kent.
Kent Police carried out searches of seven properties in Dover, Deal, Thanet and Aylesham this morning (February 5).
Officers seized suspected heroin, crack cocaine and ecstasy, as well as knives and cash, following searches assisted by sniffer dogs.
Six men and a woman, who are aged between 21 and 63, have been arrested on suspicion of various offences and they remain in custody while an investigation continues.
Detective Inspector Eleanor Miller said: “Organised crime networks not only profit from the misery of drug users, but their activities are often behind antisocial behaviour and other crimes we see in our towns and communities.
“For this reason, Kent Police will continue to seek out, arrest and bring to justice those who are involved in this activity.
“Anyone dealing drugs in the county should know that our officers could be at their front door tomorrow.”
a few more of this pond life that deals in death taken off the streets hopefully ?
Yes indeed, an absolutely superb bit of news..pure scum of the earth. The damage they do to the silly kids they use as couriers is lifechanging, and longlasting
Yet a doctor will write you out a prescription for it, hook you on it, mess you up for life & they are heroes.
Absolute waste of police time and money! De-Criminalise drugs, and the price will fall dramatically to make them near worthless, and junkies can kill themselves quite happily. They may need medical treatment but it will be much less than it costs to treat people who are obese, which is a self inflicted condition!
Totally agree with you, all too often in papers across the nation we hear about these organised drug gangs bringing misery to drugs users, legalise the less destructive drugs, mushrooms cannabis but give proper support to the people in need in the harder drugs
