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 over £2,000 in cash.
The patrol conducted a search of the vehicle and its occupants, finding 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.
Three men were arrested at the scene. Two 20-year-old men from Gravesend and a 21-year-old man from Doncaster were taken into custody on suspicion of having an offensive weapon and possessing class C drugs.
Following their arrests, the men have been released on conditional bail while police continue their investigation. Further enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
