Kent Police are shouting about their Christmas crackdown on burglars by keeping criminals and the public up to date on arrests via Twitter.

The force carried out warrants at addresses of known burglars across Kent yesterday and this morning with 10 people arrested in the two days of action.

This is the latest in a series of operations which have resulted in 160 people being arrested.

In the last two days two men from Maidstone, aged 34 and 35, were arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Stolen property was recovered from an address which has been identified from a burglary in Maidstone last week.

Three men from the north Kent area, aged 34, 31 and 20 have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary.

Stolen property has been recovered following these arrests.

A man from Medway was arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle and three men from Medway were arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Searches from these addresses resulted in stolen goods being recovered, which have been identified as being stolen in the Medway area.

Chief Constable Ian Learmonth said: "Burglary is not acceptable at any time of year but burglary near Christmas is particularly devastating for victims.

"Criminals do not care if they steal something intended as a gift. They do not care if it is wrapped up and waiting to be given to someone.

"Make sure you make life hard for burglars by protecting your property even when you are at home.

"The message is a simple one - do not commit crime in Kent because we will catch you.

"If you commit burglary in Kent you can expect porridge for Christmas, not turkey."

Earlier this month, a crackdown on anti-social behaviour in Faversham by the Neighbourhood Task Team resulted in 10 arrests and a number of children being escorted home.

On Wednesday, December 15, premises were raided across east Kent.

It ended in 11 people being arrested for money laundering, theft and immigration offences. Items seized included a large quantity of cash.

On Wednesday, December 8, a targeted day of pre-Christmas raids took place which resulted in 129 people being arrested for drugs offences, burglary and other theft-related offences, including vehicle and metal theft and handling stolen goods.
