Officers were inspecting a Kangoo van parked in a layby on the A20 in having spotted a cash counter on the back set.
While the patrol was checking over the van, they noticed an HGV nearby start to pull away and decided to follow it and eventually brought it to a stop on the side of the road.
Bodycam footage shows one cop climbing into the trailer of the lorry and he can be seen rummaging through several blue shopping bags.
He says: “Class A mate,” as he looks inside.

The driver, Danilah, whom they think is the only person in the lorry, is then arrested.
A second man, Marku, though can be seen diving from the back of the lorry as he attempts to flee.
An officer though manages to grab him and place him under arrest.
Cops then found the keys to the Renault Kangoo in his pocket when he was detained and searched, Kent say.
Danilah, 36, of no fixed address from Belarus, and Albanian Marku, 25, from Vauxhall, , were later charged with the importation of cocaine.
Danilah was sentenced to nine years in and Marku received eight years at Canterbury Crown on September 9.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Molly Harrington said: “This is an extremely large seizure and is a result that was based entirely on the keen eye and intuition of our local officers.
“Disrupting such a large number of from entering the market will have a significant impact on those behind this organised .
“The removal of dangerous substances will also crucially help prevent harm in our communities.”
