Klevis Arifi, 21, was nabbed during a traffic stop on Boxley Road on 15 March 2025. Officers discovered eight bags of cocaine in his car. Arifi revealed he lived on Union Street, Maidstone, where police quickly found 28-year-old Asllan Cani.

County Lines Operation Exposed

Text messages found on seized phones revealed both men were involved in local drug dealing – not just on the streets but also higher up in a County Lines network supplying Maidstone.

Both Arifi and Cani pleaded guilty to supplying cocaine and possession of criminal property. Arifi also admitted to driving without insurance.

Sentenced to Time Behind Bars

On 19 September 2025, Maidstone Crown Court sentenced each man to two and a half years in prison.
