Specialist police officers from the South East Serious Organised Crime Unit have made further arrests as part of an investigation into the supply of Class A and Class B drugs.  

A 53-year-old man of no fixed abode and a 22-year-old man from Drayton, were arrested on Wednesday (12/5) on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs, and on suspicion of money laundering.   

Both men were released on police bail until 9 June.
