Last night our officers were called to #Strood to assist Kent Police (UK) with recovery of a weapon used in a serious assault. The weapon was thrown trackside and a search team from Kent Police (UK) found the item in thick undergrowth. We assisted with access along with Network Rail Kent & Sussex


A male has been arrested at #Ashford for possession of class A drugs. This was after a call from Southeastern staff about a concern for a male with white powder round his nose. He was searched and found in possession of the drug. He is now off to hospital prior to custody.




The female in this case has been bailed pending further enquires and a full case file to be built in regard to the offences. Due to the females actions the power had to be turned off resulting in 1211 minutes of delays to 17 trains costing a total of £102,130 to Network Rail Kent & Sussex.




We are currently on scene at #Gillingham and we have the male with us currently safe and we have South East Coast Ambulance on scene assessing him.

We are glad to report that the male in this case was absoutley fine, he was taken to hospital by South East Coast Ambulance as he had not been taking his medication for a number of weeks. No further action will be taken at this and he will be left in the care of health professionals now.
