They searched the car in King Street and discovered suspected cocaine, mobile phones linked to drug dealing, a number of cleaning products believed to be taken from a shop and a hockey stick that could be used as a weapon.
The 34-year-old man from Margate was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, supplying drugs, theft and possessing an offensive weapon. He is still in custody while the investigation continues.
A woman who was also in the car was arrested but later released without charge.
