Kent Police is investigating 10 incidents in which four men are alleged to have targeted houses and vehicles over seven days in September 2023.

At around 2am on Friday 22 September, an attempt was made to enter a home in Aspen Drive until the four suspects were disturbed by a neighbour.

Similar reports were received around an hour later in Nelson Avenue, where a group of people were seen trying to break into two properties.

Later that morning, offenders sought to gain access to a house and a vehicle in Southsea Avenue, and a black MG was stolen from Jasmin Close.

Kent Police was notified of further attempted burglaries during early hours Faversham and Sittingbourne, between Saturday 23 and Friday 27 September.

The four suspects are described as wearing grey tracksuits with the hoods worn up. They also had black gloves and dark shoes. One man was carrying a black bag over his shoulder and holding what was believed to be a notebook. They all had their faces covered.

Investigating officer PC Georgina Harris of Swale’s Criminal Investigation Department said: ‘While the suspects were unsuccessful in their attempts to get into the properties they were targeting, we are linking all the reports and are urging anyone with information that may identify those responsible to
contact our appeal line. Drivers with dashcam and residents with CCTV are also asked to check for relevant footage.’

Anyone with information is asked to call Kent Police on 01795 419119 quoting reference 46/170845/23.
