Officers are looking to reunite suspected stolen gardening equipment with its rightful owner
Officers who recovered suspected stolen gardening equipment from a property in Maidstone are seeking help to identify its owner.
At 2pm on 9 September 2026, officers carrying out search warrants in Nettlestead confiscated a number of suspected stolen items, including chainsaws, a hedge cutter, and a leaf blower, for which they have since been unable to identify an owner.
It is believed these items may be connected to a theft which has not yet been reported to police.
