A suspect who allegedly stole an Audi, Mercedes and £6k of perfume from Boots has been charged with multiple offences.
Gary Parks, of Okehampton Crescent, Welling, is alleged to have stolen two cars from a property in Dartford in April.
It comes after a resident from Wilmington reported his Audi and Mercedes had been stolen from his driveway on April 3, after the keys were stolen from inside the house.
A week later, staff at Boots the Chemist in Sevenoaks High Street reported perfume worth £6,441 had been stolen.
Another offence took place the following month when police were called to Savers in Dartford High Street on June 4, after a suspected stolen vehicle was used to gain entry to the premises and perfume worth £3,363 was taken.
Investigators from the Kent Crime Squad completed inquiries into all three incidents and on Friday, June 18, a search warrant was executed at an address in London.
Parks, 34, was arrested and taken into custody and was charged the same day with two burglaries, two car thefts, theft of number plates, theft of perfume and dishonestly receiving a stolen Range Rover.
On June 19, he appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody to appear at a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on 15 July.
