Three men have been charged with Class A drug offences following a targeted Kent Police investigation into the alleged supply of cocaine in Canterbury.

On Monday, 7 April, officers carried out coordinated raids at multiple addresses, resulting in several arrests and the seizure of a significant quantity of cocaine and approximately £7,000 in cash.

Arrests Across Canterbury and Swanscombe

Gramoz Baci, 34, of Barton Mill Road, and Arber Pjetri, 23, of Priest Avenue, were both arrested in Linden Grove at around 2.15pm. Shortly afterwards, Lorenso Mustavataj, 21, of St George’s Place, was stopped in a vehicle on Stanhope Road, Swanscombe, and arrested along with a 20-year-old woman from Sheerness.

All three men have now been charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. In addition, Mr Mustavataj faces a further charge of possession with intent to supply cocaine.

The three accused are due to appear at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday, 9 April). The arrested woman has been released on bail pending further investigation.
