A intruder alarm was activated after a commercial premises was "rammed" - the second incident of its kind in days.

The vehicle is reported to have rammed a building in Gravesend.

Officers were called at 12.57am on Tuesday after an intruder alarm was activated at a commercial premises on the Imperial Business Estate in West Mill.

The security shutter had been severely damaged by a car that had been left at the scene.

Nothing has been reported stolen but the till, which was empty, had been opened.
