A major police operation rocked Sittingbourne over the weekend, netting arrests, drug seizures, and strict measures to tackle rising antisocial behaviour.
Heavy Police Presence Targets Troublemakers
Residents and shop owners spotted officers patrolling High Street, retail parks, and the town’s railway station. The focus? Knife crime, drug dealing, and keeping the peace on what’s normally one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.
A dispersal order was slapped on the area from Friday afternoon until Sunday 4pm, aimed at stamping out rowdy behaviour. Two individuals were kicked out of the zone, while booze and a stolen bike were confiscated. Others were warned off.
Station Sting Nets Arrests and Drug Seizures
In partnership with British Transport Police, local officers carried out 15 stop-and-searches at Sittingbourne train station. Their efforts led to the arrest of Joshua Kennedy, 30, from Sheerness, charged with four counts of shoplifting. He remains in custody awaiting his court appearance.
