A teenager has been charged by detectives investigating two burglaries on the same Gravesend road.

Officers received reports of break ins in Meadow Road on August 8.

The 18-year-old, of Lynsted Close, Ashford, was later charged with two counts of burglary and appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court yesterday where he was remanded in custody to next appear at Canterbury Crown Court on Thursday, November 1.
