Police have today released this image of a woman they want to speak to over an alleged assault in an Ashford bank.

A woman is said to have become abusive and threatened staff and customers in the reception area of Santander in the High Street.

Kent Police said she was asked to leave, but refused - and then pulled down a poster and threw leaflets across the room.

The woman police wish to speak to has been described as white, slim, around 5ft 4ins and between 45 and 50.

She has mousey collar-length hair and was wearing a red cardigan, jogging bottoms and carrying a handbag.
