Burglaries and theft related offences.

Issued 21 April 2026

Regular targeted patrols have been carried out across the DA12 and DA13 areas in response to recent reports of burglary and theft. As part of these enquiries, two offenders were identified following a burglary at Meopham Scout Hut and were each issued with a Community Resolution. A Community Resolution is an out-of-court outcome used, helping offenders take responsibility for their actions while addressing the harm caused.

Officers will continue to patrol identified hotspot areas, support ongoing investigations and work with local communities to help prevent further offences. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity, as information from the public can play an important role in identifying offenders and protecting the community.
