CDs, electronic devices and clothes were stolen during a spate of cars break-ins on the seaside.

The incidents happened in Herne Bay in Queensbridge Drive, Grange Road, Spenser Road and Bournemouth Drive late on Wednesday and in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Police are urging residents to keep their cars locked and valuables secure and out of eyeshot.

"We would urge anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area to get in touch as soon as possible while we seek the people responsible."

Officers have also advised motorists to remove their stereos, not to leave their keys in the ignition and to wipe SatNav suction marks from their windscreens and dashboards.
