A suspected dealer has been arrested and more than 30 cocaine deals seized after officers saw him acting suspiciously in Tunbridge Wells. At around 1.30pm on Thursday 3 August 2023, constables from Kent Police’s Proactive Targeting Team were on patrol in Southborough, when they saw an Audi A1 drive into Norton Road.
The vehicle headed towards a dead end and the officers suspected the driver was going to meet somebody to supply drugs. The Audi was stopped and 37 cocaine deals and a quantity of cannabis were found in a roof cavity and door pocket during a search. Officers arrested a man and he was taken into custody.
Ramarjo Shehi, of no fixed address, was later charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply, possession of cannabis, driving without a licence and driving without insurance. The 36-year-old appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Friday 4 August where he was remanded to a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on a date to be confirmed.
