Chaos on Augustine Road

Officers were called at 10.21pm on Tuesday, 12 August, after reports of a disturbance involving a group outside a private property on Augustine Road. By the time police arrived, those involved had fled the scene.

They have been remanded in custody and are due at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 18 August.
