Three suspected burglars have been charged with stealing cars and jewellery during a series of break-ins across west Kent.

Between 9 October 2023 and 8 January 2024, 12 homes across Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, and Tunbridge Wells were targeted by thieves.

Each time, the suspects are reported to have broken into the properties via rear patio doors and carried out untidy searches, before leaving the scene.

On three occasions, car keys were stolen alongside their respective vehicles and on four occasions, jewellery was taken.

Ricky Rixon, 39, of Spindle Mews in Orpington, London, and Lorenzo King, 35, of Beckenham Road in Beckenham, London have since been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and laundering criminal property.

Amy Pitcher, 31, of Spindle Mews in Orpington, London, was also charged with laundering criminal property.

All three people are on bail, due to appear before Maidstone Magistrates’ Court on 12 September 2025.
