• Dylan Tawanyasha Malikebo, a Zimbabwean national, aged 18, of Dover Road, Folkestone.
• Jayden Petros, a Zimbabwean national, aged 20, of Dover Road, Folkestone.
• Sulayman Jammeh, a Gambian national, aged 25, of Rosedale Road, Margate.

Between them, the three men have been charged with multiple offences, including conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and possession of an offensive weapon.
