Police patrols have responded swiftly to make four arrests after a Dartford resident reported seeing a suspected intruder.
The incident happened at around 1.30am on Monday 1 July 2024, at an address in Stone. The victim alleged a man, holding what is described as a knife, had been disturbed at their bedroom window.
The suspect is then reported to have fled the scene in a vehicle accompanied by others.
Around 20 minutes later, patrols located a Mercedes travelling towards London along East Rochester Way. Assisted by the Metropolitan Police the vehicle was stopped at Shooters Hill and four people were detained.
A man aged 19, of no fixed address; a woman aged 22, from Croydon, and two 17-year-old boys from Greater London, were later charged by investigators from North Kent CID, with aggravated burglary.
