Stop and search for drugs

Hello Resident,

Earlier this year, we conducted a community survey inviting local residents to identify the top issues affecting their area. The three most commonly reported concerns in South East Ashford were:

Today, Beat officers were on patrol near Beaver Road when they observed four males behaving suspiciously. All individuals were detained and searched under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. Drugs were found in their possession, and appropriate action has been taken.

If you have any information or intelligence relating to drug use or distribution, please contact the police via 101. Alternatively, you can report anonymously through Crimestoppers. Every piece of information helps us target hotspot areas and individuals of concern more effectively.

Thank you for your continued support.
