Police targeting thieves who steal and break into vehicles have arrested two men and a teenager.

The suspects, aged 19 and 21, from Aylesham and a 16-year-old from Canterbury were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of theft as part of Operation Castle which is targeting car thieves.

The arrests were made as part of an investigation into the theft of catalytic converters from vehicles.

Officers also searched properties in Aylesham and Canterbury and items, including an exhaust system, were seized.

The three were released on bail, pending further investigation, until April 24.
