County Line

A week-long operation targeting county line drug dealing led to 47 people being arrested and more than £100,000 in cash being seized by Kent Police.

A total of 28 weapons including machetes, samurai swords, crossbows and knives were also recovered between Monday 2nd and Sunday 8th March. Of the 47 suspects arrested, 23 have since been charged with 63 separate offences.

During the proactive week, 40 separate addresses were searched, with officers making 29 drug seizures including heroin, crack cocaine, GHB, ketamine, steroids and methamphetamine.

A drug dealer who supplied class A substances in Chatham has been jailed for three years and nine months.

Christopher Tregunno supplied heroin and crack cocaine on behalf of a county line named ‘Trigger’ and was twice arrested by Kent Police officers in 2020. 

The 30-year-old, of Tonge Road in Sittingbourne, admitted four drug supply offences and was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday (9th March).
