Two Suspects Sought Following Disturbing Incident on Windmill Street

Kent Police have issued an appeal for information after two women attempted to steal jewellery from an elderly woman who had fallen over in Gravesend.

The distressing incident occurred on Windmill Street, a pedestrianized area in Gravesend, at approximately 11:30 am on Monday, March 25. The victim, a woman in her 80s, had reportedly fallen to the ground when two female suspects, believed to be in their 30s, attempted to pilfer her jewellery.
