Just after 4.20am on Friday 4 August 2023, Kent Police was called to a report of a disturbance in Milton Road.

Patrols attended the scene where an attempted burglary was reported. A car that was seen to leave the area was pursued and two men exited the vehicle after it came to a halt in Milton Street.

A 20-year-old man from London was arrested in connection with the incident and taken into custody. He has since been bailed until November, pending further enquiries.
