It’s reported a suspected drug dealer was arrested early Saturday morning following a brief pursuit in Gillingham by police.
The incident unfolded around 1:30 AM on November 9th when officers noticed a motorcycle parked on a pavement in Gillingham Gate Road. As they approached to check on the rider, the individual fled the scene. A short chase ensued, ending in a collision involving the suspect’s motorcycle, a bollard, and a police vehicle in Purser Way.
A 20-year-old man from Strood was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drug dealing, driving under the influence of drugs, dangerous driving, and failing to stop for police. Officers recovered £515 in cash, cannabis, and suspected cocaine during the arrest. The suspect has been released on bail while investigations continue.
