Parish councillor Adrian Wicken said he saw a number of police vehicles in the village including the helicopter last night.

"It was obviously serious as you do not usually get the police helicopter floating about," he said.

"People in the village were making it sound like we were in downtown Chicago, but there were probably some people who didn't even know the police were here.

"They didn't advertise their presence at all but some officers did come into the pub when we were closing up to ask if we knew anything."

Detectives investigating the incident also arrested a 19-year-old man in Maidstone yesterday evening.

Both suspects are from the Maidstone area. They remain in custody.
