Nuisance Vehicles and Shoplifting


Maidstone Town Team have seized two vehicles in the town centre today. Both vehicles have been using the High Street and contraveninng clear signs.

We know that people driving through the High Street causes a nuisance and we have spent a few hours turning vehicles around and providing words of advice. This has lead to two seizures.

We also arrested two more for shoplifting yesterday resulting in three charges and court bail conditions banning them from stores in Maidstone.

And an arrest was made in relation to a male selling iPhone's leading to a third car seizure and searches in London.

We also received intelligence from partners in relation to drug use, and we located the person. Searched them seized cannabis and seized a potential weapon from him.

Removing weapons, drugs and nuisance vehicles keeps the town and users of the town safe.
