Police have made an arrest in connection with a terrifying alleged kidnap attempt in Canterbury.

The suspect was held after officers launched a manhunt for two men who approached a young woman in Wincheap.

The 21-year-old victim was walking along the A28 in Wincheap when a light blue Peugeot mounted the pavement in front of her.

One man is said to have got out of the car and tried to coax her to get in, before allegedly grabbing her and stealing money.

It was only when she shouted for help that he got back in the car and the pair fled in the direction of Thanington at 3.15pm on Monday, September 1.

In the aftermath, police launched an appeal for witnesses and released e-fits of two suspects.
