The men were arrested within 30 minutes of an incident in Larkfield, where
it is alleged five handsets were stolen after they were pulled from a
display at a Tesco supermarket.
Police were called to the Lunsford Park store at 4.23pm on Saturday 29
October 2022. It is reported a member of staff was threatened when attempts
were made to challenge the suspects as they left the premises. Officers
quickly identified a vehicle linked to the offences, which was tracked and
followed by patrols to a location in Sidcup. Both the driver and passenger
were arrested.
Ion Ion, 29, of Roxwell Road, Barking, Greater London and Samson Busuioc,
27, of Green Lane, Dagenham, Essex were later charged with theft.
They are both bailed to appear before Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court on 28
November.
