Silver Briefcase Snatched in Canterbury Field

A mysterious silver briefcase was found lying in a field off Querns Road, Canterbury, last Saturday evening. A member of the public spotted it around 5.30pm and picked it up—only for a man to suddenly snatch it and walk off.

Man Caught on the Run

The woman, alarmed by the encounter, immediately called the police. The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s or early 40s. He wore a dark grey Adidas jumper with white stripes, white joggers, and carried a black rucksack.

Police Appeal for Dashcam Footage and Witnesses

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Loose said: “There could be a reasonable explanation behind this incident, but we want to get to the bottom of what happened. We urge the man involved to come forward immediately.”

Loose added: “We also ask motorists in the area at the time to check dashcam footage. If you spotted this man, please get in touch.”
