Cracking Crime in East Kent

For over 15 years, the guv'nor here at Wiseworld has worked with Kent Police in various roles to help reduce crime and the fear of crime. He has even got an award from Mike Fuller, the Chief Constable to say so!

Unfortunately more pressing demands mean that he can no longer make this a regular committment.

However, he still likes to keep his ear to the ground, and if he hears something interesting, especially if police are seeking information or witnesses, asks us to publish it here.

If you know anything about any of the crimes published, you can call East Kent Police on 01227 762055. Alternatively, call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous - you might even get a reward!

Palace Street phone snatch - witness appeal

Police are appealing for two people to come forward after they helped a woman when her mobile phone was snatched in Canterbury.

The 33-year-old woman from Herne Bay was writing a text message as she walked in Palace Street, Canterbury, at 10.25am on Wednesday 17 February 2010.

When she was near the Bell and Crown pub the touch screen phone was snatched by a man. He is described as black, aged 20 to 25, 5ft 10 ins tall, of stocky build with a goatee beard. He was wearing a dark green, three-quarter length coat.

The man dropped the phone as the woman called out to passers-by to contact the police and then ran off towards St Radigund’s car park.

The two people came over to check the woman was not injured but she did not take their details. Police now want them or any witnesses to make contact as they may be able to assist with the investigation.
The officer to call is PC James Murrell on 01227 868378
