A car involved in an alleged theft at Crockenhill Premier in Broadway crashed into another vehicle and a home on Goldsel Road, Swanley, on Monday afternoon, September 16, 2024.
The incident unfolded after a male suspect reportedly took a bottle of alcohol from the Premier store and fled the scene in a vehicle. Eyewitnesses claim that the driver appeared to be intoxicated at the time.
