A MAN has been arrested after 10 wraps of suspected cocaine were found stuffed in a sock in Dartford. 

Officers were alerted to a suspicious vehicle in Franklin Road at 6pm on October 3.  

An officer witnessed an object being thrown out from the window of a car before it was flagged down.

After the driver stopped, an officer went to look around Pinewood Place to see what the thrown object was.  

Police say a sock was found which was stuffed with white powder. 

Officers spoke to the driver and conducted a search of the car. 

They reportedly seized three mobile phones, a quantity of cash, and another sock, which was similar to the one found on the road.

He has since been released pending further police enquiries.
