A suspected burglar has been charged in connection with the theft of three paintings from a house in Sevenoaks.
The burglary took place between Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 January 2024, at an address in Kippington Road. It is alleged three paintings were stolen, along with various items of jewellery and ornaments. The keys to a Saab car were also taken and the vehicle was then stolen from the driveway.
