A suspected thief who reportedly drove dangerously through Edenbridge using a provisional license has been arrested.

Kent Police was called just after 7.40am on Thursday 27 March 2025 to a report of a suspicious vehicle – believed to be involved in a fuel theft incident – on Station Approach, near Edenbridge train station.

Police spotted the vehicle travelling in nearby in Stangrove Road and it is reported the driver failed to stop when instructed. Following a pursuit, the car came to a stop in Smiths Lane, Crockham Hill.

A later search also led to the seizure of a knuckle duster.

An 18 year old man from Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire was arrested in connection to the incident and has since been bailed pending further enquiries.
