Phone Thief Strikes in Busy Maidstone Café
Just after 2pm on Thursday 17 February 2022, a man slipped into a King Street café and nabbed another customer’s phone while they were distracted.
CCTV Image Released to Nab Suspect
Police have now released a CCTV image of a man they believe could hold the key to cracking the case.
Inspector Steve Kent, of Maidstone’s Community Safety Unit, said: “The suspect was handing out leaflets and it’s thought he stole the phone while chatting to the victim.”
“We are keen to speak to the man in the CCTV photo who may have crucial information. Although he wears a face mask, someone must recognise him and get in touch.”
