Kent Police stopped a suspicious white Jaguar on Old Road East, Gravesend, at around 1.30am on Saturday, 6 June 2026. During the stop, officers discovered a 30cm machete, nitrous oxide cannisters, and more than £2,000 in cash, leading to arrests linked to weapons and drugs offences.
Officers conducting a search of the vehicle and its occupants found the large knife alongside multiple nitrous oxide cannisters, commonly known as “NOS.” These items raised immediate concerns about possession of offensive weapons and controlled substances.
Two 20-year-old men from Gravesend and a 21-year-old man from Doncaster were arrested at the scene on suspicion of having an offensive weapon and possessing class C drugs. All three were taken into custody for questioning.
Following their arrests, the men have since been released on conditional bail while police continue their investigation. Further enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
