Appeal for witnesses to affray at Greenhithe store

Officers investigating an attempted assault and affray at a shop in Greenhithe are appealing for witnesses.

Kent Police was called to Asda at around 6.30pm on Saturday 9 March 2024 where it is reported that a teenage boy was involved in an altercation with a boy known to him.

The suspect left the scene and was arrested a short time later.

Following initial enquiries, investigators are keen to identify and speak to two potential witnesses who were in the store at the time. It is believed one of the boys fell into a woman’s trolley and that another person left the area after giving information to a member of staff.
