Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of drug dealing in Canterbury.

A 15-year-old from Essex was stopped by police officers in the city on Sunday who seized a mobile phone and cash and took him into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs.

He was later released but remains under investigation.

During subsequent inquiries, officers arrested a 19-year-old from Canterbury the following day, also on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs as well as human trafficking.

He has been bailed until Sunday, March 3 while the investigation continues.

Both arrests were made as part of an ongoing initiative called Operation Raptor, which is designed to tackle, disrupt and prevent violent crime and the possession of offensive weapons, as well as the supply of class A drugs.
