Drug Dealer Arrested

Good morning Resident

Over recent weeks, local residents raised concerns about suspected drug-related activity involving a moped in the Barden Road area. This issue had become a recurring concern for the community.

During a recent shift, officers observed the vehicle multiple times. When it was later seen heading towards Hildenborough, it failed to stop for police. Following a short pursuit, the rider abandoned the vehicle and was safely detained by officers.

A quantity of suspected Class A drugs was recovered nearby, along with evidence suggesting involvement in the supply of drugs in the Tonbridge area. The individual was arrested, and a search of a related address was carried out with support from specialist teams. The individual has subsequently been charged and remanded to Court.

This outcome was supported by community intelligence, and we thank residents for continuing to report suspicious activity. Please keep sharing information with us—it makes a real difference.

Kind Regards

Jack & Phil
