A notorious child sex offender from Margate has been slammed with a whopping 28-year prison sentence for abusing multiple victims over decades.
Duncan Bayles, 65, once of Northdown Road, was finally brought to justice for horrific offences against five children dating back to the 1980s. The vile abuse included manipulation, grooming, bribery with gifts, and horrific sexual assaults. Bayles twisted his young victims into believing his crimes were “normal”.
Kent Police launched a specialist investigation in June 2019 after a man stepped forward to reveal how Bayles preyed on him repeatedly as a boy. Further probing uncovered three more male victims, unleashing a damning 19 charges ranging from gross indecency to attempted rape.
After Bayles’ initial trial at Canterbury Crown Court found him guilty on all counts in October 2024, a female victim bravely revealed she’d also suffered abuse at his hands. Bayles intimidated her by threatening her pets and convincing her she’d never be believed.

Border Force officers struck a major blow against illegal firearms smuggling at Dover. A man has been charged after a staggering 55 loaded Glock pistols and 500 rounds of ammunition were found hidden in his van.
Just before midnight on Wednesday, officers stopped a Mercedes Sprinter van at the port of Dover, Kent. The driver, Petar Velikov Petrov, 58, from Varna, Bulgaria, attempted to sneak the deadly cargo into the UK.
The Glock 19 pistols were cleverly concealed inside two spare tyres. In total, 500 live bullets were also recovered during the search.
Petar Petrov has been charged with smuggling firearms and ammunition. On Friday, he appeared before Margate Magistrates’ Court, facing serious firearms offences.
“This is a massive haul of illegal firearms and ammunition and very significant levels of harm have no doubt been prevented by this brilliant detection,” said Tracey Gasson, NCA Operations Manager.
“Firearms crime in the UK is among the lowest in the world, but the criminal demand for guns continues. We continue to work with partners at home, such as Border Force, and international law enforcement to tackle this threat.”
Ian Hanson, Border Force Director for South East and Europe, added: “Border Force are committed to stopping lethal firearms from entering the country illegally. We will continue to work tirelessly to keep the public safe and our borders secure.”
The heartbroken mother of a four-year-old boy killed in a terrifying crash has revealed she had a chilling premonition that something terrible was about to happen. Hayley Maughan told the court how panic gripped her as her cousin and his father “chased” her family along the A2 in Kent, before the fatal smash.
At Maidstone Crown Court, Ms Maughan described the desperate chase involving her family in their Ford pick-up and the two other vehicles driven by 27-year-old Owen Maughan and his 54-year-old father Patrick Maughan. She said, “I was panicking so bad. They were chasing us. We begged them to stop – the kids were in the car.”
Prosecutor Richard Jory KC slammed Owen Maughan’s actions as a “deliberate ramming at high speed,” accusing him of using his car as a weapon to push the family’s vehicle off the road at around 60mph near Pepper Hill, Northfleet.
The crash left the family’s Ford pick-up flipping and crashing violently. Ms Maughan frantically searched the back seats but her son Peter was missing. Jurors heard the tragic boy had been thrown from the vehicle, suffering “severe and devastating injuries” to his head, chest, and abdomen that left him with no chance.
She found Peter face down in the grass and screamed for help.
The trial continues as the court seeks justice for little Peter, whose life was cut short in this devastating family feud gone deadly.
A 26-year-old man from Faversham has been sentenced to six years and six months behind bars after being convicted of rape and sexual assault.
David Jones, of Feaver Drive, was convicted at Canterbury Crown Court following an intense eight-day trial. The horrific crimes took place in Sittingbourne on 23 and 24 May 2022.
The victim confided in a family member about the shocking rape and a subsequent sexual assault. She reported the incidents to Kent Police on 5 June 2022, triggering a swift investigation.
“Jones took advantage of his victim for his own sexual gratification and subjected her to a horrific sexual assault,” said Detective Constable Stephanie Wilson.
“I am grateful to the victim for her support in securing a conviction and hope that the custodial sentence imposed brings her some closure.”
Traffic is grinding to a halt on the M20 and M26 in Kent this afternoon after a car veered off the motorway and ended up on an embankment. The crash has happened on the coastbound M20 between junctions 2a and 3, close to where the M26 merges in.
One lane remains closed while emergency crews and National Highways work at the scene. Congestion is piling up, snarling traffic on both motorways, with delays already hitting 15 minutes or more. Drivers have been urged to “approach with caution” as the aftermath clears.
Kent County Council’s highways team is advising motorists to expect ongoing delays in the area.
Kent Police, backed by Trading Standards, have smashed a racket selling illegal tobacco in Hythe. A huge haul of around 100kg of smuggled tobacco and nearly £30,000 cash was seized during a crackdown last week.
On Tuesday, 20 January, neighbourhood officers in Newingreen stopped a suspicious van on the A20. A search uncovered the vast stash of suspected illegal tobacco, promptly confiscated by Trading Standards. The operation was part of a wider check ensuring local businesses were playing by the rules.
Further raids along Hythe High Street uncovered a secret hide underneath a shop counter, believed to store counterfeit tobacco products. Immigration Enforcement also joined the swoop to deepen investigations into criminal links.
“Organised crime uses illegal tobacco profits to fuel other offences,” warned Carlo Capozzi, Community Safety Unit Inspector for Folkestone and Hythe. “Thanks to strong local intelligence and close community ties, we’re targeting offenders hard.”
Jim Whiddett, Kent Trading Standards Operations Manager, added: “Illicit tobacco undercuts honest businesses and feeds organised crime. It also makes smoking cheaper and easier for young people. We urge the public to report suspicious sales anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.”

Gravesend Milton Road Shut After Hearse Crash Outside Funeral Parlour
A busy Gravesend road was slammed shut earlier today after a hearse collided with another vehicle outside a local funeral director’s.
Police were scrambled to Milton Road at 11.45am on February 5 after reports of a two-vehicle collision. One of the cars involved was a hearse, hitting the outside of Hergest & Cavell Funeral Directors.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported from the crash.
Kent Police quickly sealed off Milton Road while recovery teams cleared the wreckage. The closure caused traffic disruptions near the junction with Ordnance Road, a key local route.
A Kent Police spokesperson confirmed: “Kent Police was called at 11.45am on Thursday 5 February 2026 to reports of a collision involving two cars on Milton Road, Gravesend. Officers attended and closed the road while vehicles were recovered. The road has since reopened.”
Images from the scene show two dark vehicles, including the hearse, with police cars and officers in attendance. Drivers were urged to avoid the area during the clean-up.
Milton Road is now back open, easing the traffic headaches for local motorists.
Kent Police have issued a computer-generated image following a sexual assault reported in Sittingbourne. The victim was followed and assaulted while walking along William Street at around 3.30pm on Monday 22 December 2025.
The suspect allegedly made a lewd comment before touching the victim inappropriately over his clothes. When confronted, the man fled towards the High Street.
Officers reviewed CCTV footage and interviewed witnesses. The e-fit shows a man around 5ft 5in tall, speaking broken English. He was wearing a black bomber jacket and jeans at the time.
Anyone recognising the man or with information or CCTV footage is urged to call Kent Police on 01795 419119, quoting reference 46/218884/25.

A 16-year-old boy has confessed to hurling stones at a man who later died after being brutally attacked on a beach in Kent. The victim, accused of being a paedophile, was chased down and battered with rocks and a bottle before being found face down in the mud.
Prosecutors revealed the horrifying details in court, where the teenager admitted to striking the man after a series of messages prompted him to believe the victim had inappropriate intentions. The boy met the victim, Mr Cashford, after he gave the girl’s number at an amusement arcade on August 8.
Using a fake name, “Sienna,” the girl and her two accomplices exchanged texts with Mr Cashford and arranged a meeting near the sea wall on August 10, leading to the deadly confrontation.
Court footage showed the 16-year-old hitting Mr Cashford on the back of the head with a beer bottle — which did not break on impact — before attempting to strike him again. The boy admitted he wanted to hurt Mr Cashford but insisted he didn’t expect to cause serious injury.
“I saw the bottle and I picked it up. I wasn’t really sure what was going through my head,” he told jurors.
After the attack, the defendants fled the scene, with the female accomplice filming the assault on the defendant’s phone, while she shouted, “F****** paedophile. I’m f****** 16.”
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Cashford suffered multiple injuries, including facial bruises, fractured ribs that punctured a lung, and head trauma. Despite the brutal attack, the trio deny murder charges. The 16-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, while the girl and a 15-year-old boy involved deny all charges.
Under questioning, the boy revealed he took screenshots of the texts after the attack to prove he was trying to meet the teenage girl. When asked if he thought he was doing the right thing by attacking the man, he answered, “Yeah, kind of, yeah.”
He said he felt the police “wouldn’t have done anything” if he had reported the man, and expressed a desire for authorities to “lock him up.”
The case continues with all defendants denying murder. The brutal nature of the attack and the motives behind it are under scrutiny at the court hearing.
Kent Police have issued a CCTV image following a violent assault at The Samuel Peto pub in Folkestone. The attack happened just after 11pm on Friday, 30 January 2026.

Emergency services arrived promptly. Paramedics treated the victim for facial injuries while police began their investigation.
Officers have now released a CCTV image of a man they want to identify. He could hold vital clues to cracking the case.
Help bring justice to Folkestone and stop violent troublemakers in their tracks.

A heartbreaking inquest has revealed how nine-year-old Luiza “Bia” Paun tragically drowned after slipping into the River Thames while playing on a jetty in Gravesend.
On May 30 last year, Luiza, from Wrotham Road in Gravesend, was playing near the water at the Gordon Promenade when she took off her shoes and slipped into the river. Despite heroic efforts by nearby members of the public who jumped in to save her, she was swept away by the current and disappeared beneath the water.
A nearby witness, George Karnovski, described pulling the boy out of the water while frantically searching for Luiza, but she was nowhere to be seen.
“At the same time as pulling him out, I was looking around, shouting ‘there is one more’. I couldn’t find the little girl anywhere,” said the 37-year-old rescuer.
Following the tragedy, floral tributes and soft toys were left at the site, with messages like “Rest in peace, little one” and “May you find eternal peace in the arms of angels.”
Luiza’s family, believed to be from Romania, has described her as a “beautiful angel” with her whole life ahead of her. Gravesham MP Dr Lauren Sullivan expressed her deepest condolences and praised the emergency services for their efforts.
“I know there are many opinions about the circumstances, and it is right there is an investigation,” Dr Sullivan said. “But at the heart of this is a family and community in grief, which I hope everyone can respect.”
The inquest heard Luiza was playing with her cousin near the water when she slipped and was pulled in by the current.
Residents have since urged for increased safety measures along the riverbank. Suggestions include more warning signs about the dangers, with some written in multiple languages to better protect visitors.
The full inquest into Luiza’s death is scheduled for March 18 at Oakwood House, Maidstone.
Her tragic story is a stark reminder of the hidden dangers that rivers pose, especially to children. Calls for tighter river safety measures are growing louder in Gravesend and beyond.
Kent Police are backing a national firearms amnesty targeting dangerous illegal weapons. From Monday 2 February to Friday 27 February 2026, owners of certain illegal blank-firing guns can hand them in — no questions asked.
Side and top-venting blank-firing (TVBF) guns are legal unless they’re easily converted into real firearms. The National Crime Agency tested five models from Italian maker Bruni and found them readily convertible, making them illegal without a licence.
The banned models are:
During the amnesty, no one handing in these firearms will face prosecution. But from 28 February, those found with banned Bruni guns could be arrested and jailed for up to 10 years.
Firearms can be surrendered at these Kent police stations:
If you plan to surrender a TVBF, travel directly to the police station. Always keep the firearm concealed in public — even inside the station until instructed otherwise.
“We expect many owners don’t realise their guns are illegal or meant for crime,” said Detective Chief Inspector Martin Davies. “This amnesty aims to get these dangerous weapons off our streets, protecting communities from harm. It also offers owners a safe way to hand them in without fear of prosecution.”
“Kent is a safe place with low gun crime, but we’re vigilant. Over 70 converted Bruni TVBF devices have been seized across the UK tied to various crimes. Since 2023, converted Side/TVBFs have been linked to at least five homicides nationally. These weapons are deadly once converted, so we must stop them falling into the wrong hands.”
A brutal stabbing has rocked the quiet Dover area. Kent Police have launched a murder probe after a 25-year-old man was found fatally wounded in a private home in Rose Gardens, Eythorne.
Officers were called to the scene at 9:06am on Thursday 29 January 2026 following reports of an assault. Emergency services arrived to find the victim with stab wounds. Despite on-site treatment, he was pronounced dead. His next of kin have been informed.
A man in his 60s from Dover, known to the victim, was arrested nearby and remains in police custody. Police have set up a cordon around Rose Gardens, which will stay in place overnight as detectives carry out forensic enquiries.
Investigators are urging anyone with information or footage to come forward. Residents with private CCTV or motorists with dashcams should check their recordings carefully.

Four suspects have been arrested following a brazen attempt to nick a JCB digger in Sevenoaks.
On the evening of Thursday, 20 January 2026, at around 8.15pm, Kent Police were called to West Kingsdown industrial site. Three men had reportedly cut through a fence and sneaked inside.
Officers caught the suspects red-handed as one drove the shiny JCB digger off the premises.
The thief abandoned the digger and ran, but police were hot on his tail. With help from the National Police Air Service and ace Kent Police dog PC Boss, the man was tracked and arrested promptly.
A thorough search uncovered two suspicious vehicles linked to the raid. Police detained three more people — two men and a woman.
All four suspects have since been bailed pending further investigations.
The digger heist plot may have been foiled, but police vow to crack down on construction site crime in the area.

Kent Police have locked up two men for almost three years following a shocking crime spree across the county.
Mason James, 25, and Malcolm Royden, 55, pleaded guilty to stealing four pricey cars and trying to snatch three more between December 2024 and January 2025. The pair stalked homes under the cover of darkness, wearing dark clothes and balaclavas.
Their targets covered several areas, including #Maidstone, #Medway, #Swale, and #Ashford.
An eagle-eyed investigation zeroed in on a Kia Sportage linked to the theft attempts. On the early morning of 24 January, locals reported two men trying to steal cars in East Kent. Police raced to the scene and tracked down the vehicle near Lenham.
James, Royden, and a third man, Fred Wreden, 20, were arrested at a nearby petrol station. Officers found tools used in the break-ins and clothes matching CCTV footage.
Detective Constable Harry Groves said: “These men showed a blatant disregard for their victims’ property in well-organised thefts. But their overconfidence was their downfall. Thanks to quick police response and crucial CCTV footage from residents, justice was served. Our neighbourhoods are safer now.”
A suspected drug driver was hauled in during a major road safety sweep in Ramsgate. The Kent Special Constabulary teamed up with police cadets to check 81 vehicles on January 24, 2026.
The crackdown on Newington Road near Manston Road saw 49 drivers slapped with warnings or enforcement action. Officers uncovered a range of offences, including:
One car had a tyre so worn it needed urgent repairs. Its owner was slapped with a traffic offence report and stern warnings about the risks.
A 35-year-old Ashford man was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving and driving with illegal tyres. A small stash of cannabis was found in his car and taken by officers for destruction. The man has since been bailed pending further inquiries.
Police also seized a car and two e-scooters for being uninsured.
“Almost 60 percent of the vehicles stopped had issues,” said Inspector James Johnston of the Kent Special Constabulary. “This is a stark reminder to drivers to regularly check their vehicles. Don’t wait to get stopped. Offences could mean fines, points on your licence, arrests, or court appearances. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.”
