On Tuesday 29 November 2022, Kent Police’s Rural Taskforce together with colleagues from Dartford and Gravesham councils, targeted those who illegally carry and dispose of waste.
During the operation, patrols stopped a Ford Transit van on the A225 near Horton Kirby and identified it was bearing false number plates. Further enquiries established it had been stolen from Leicester two months earlier. The two occupants, a 20-year-old man from Kettering and a 22-year-old man from Dartford, were arrested on suspicion of theft of the vehicle. The former was also arrested on suspicion of burglaries and thefts in East Anglia.
