Crime-fighting canines, Buster and Bob, are helping police officers round up people committing drugs offences across Kent.

The doggy duo, yellow Labrador, Buster, and brown Chesapeake, Bob, helped their human colleagues secure three arrests in one night - two for class A drug possession and one for possession with intent to supply without 'paws' for thought.

The four-legged friends worked with officers as part of an operation across north Kent earlier this month, including Gravesend, Swanscombe and Rochester.

In total 19 stop and searches were executed, one person was given a penalty notice for disorder for possession of cannabis and another was given a cannabis warning.

A spokesman for Kent Police said: "A great result from our dog section - police dog Buster and police dog Bob were part of a recent operation to tackle drugs in north Kent.
