A police pursuit has led to the arrests of four men less than an hour after phones and computer tablets were stolen during a robbery at a shop in Sevenoaks.

It is alleged the suspects, wearing balaclavas, entered the Bligh’s Walk store at around 3.50pm on Thursday 3 November 2022.

They are reported to have forced open an internal door, before stealing devices from a stockroom worth thousands of pounds.

Police were alerted and a car linked to the suspects was swiftly identified.

Tracked and intercepted

The Audi A5 was tracked to the M25 and located as it was travelling in the direction of the Dartford River Crossing.

The vehicle was intercepted at around 4.30pm on the Essex side of the crossing and all four occupants were arrested and taken into custody.
