A 22-year-old man has been charged with theft and assault after a police raid on a Strood home.

Officers executed a warrant under the Theft Act at a home in Hyacinth Road, Strood, yesterday.

Five people were arrested and one, Jacob Benjamin Winnett, of the same road has been charged.

The other four, a 50-year-old woman, a 17-year-old boy and two men aged 19 and 53, have been bailed until May 29.
