A drug dealer from Dartford has been jailed after he was arrested with more than 90 wraps of cocaine and heroin.
Officers from Kent Police’s County Lines and Gangs Team were on patrol in Waldeck Road where they stopped a hire car on 18th October 2021.
Suspecting the driver, Rahim Saeed, was involved in drug supply they detained him for a search.

Once there, he admitted to having drugs hidden in his clothing and the officers seized 91 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin. They also recovered a large lump of crack cocaine which it is estimated could have been divided into a further 110 wraps.
