Police are investigating after a house that was under construction was targeted by burglars.

Officers are appealing for information after building materials were taken from a site in Sellindge, between Ashford and Hythe.

The burglary happened at a site in Swan Lane between 5pm on Friday and 7am on Monday.

Burglars are believed to have entered the house and stolen a boiler, worktops and copper piping.

Detective Darren Brough, of Folkestone criminal investigation department, said: "It is unlikely that these materials were carried from the site by one person, so we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously, or vehicles loitering in the area over the weekend."

Witnesses, or anyone who has any information, is urged to call Kent Police on 01843 222289, quoting reference 46/5304/21.
