A 22-year-old man was robbed by two men as he stood at a cash machine.

The man had just withdrawn money from the Nationwide Building Society in Commercial Road, Paddock Wood, when two men approached him from behind, pushed him up against the wall and took his wallet.

They then ran off towards the railway station.

Police are now hunting for two suspects, both described as Asian, with short black hair and beards, both of whom were wearing white trainers.

One is thought to be around 19-years-old, about 5ft 6ins with a two-inch scar on his right cheek. He was wearing a beige and white hooded top, black jogging bottoms and white trainers.

The other suspect is thought to be between 22 and 23-years-old, 5ft 10ins, and was wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans.

Anyone with information about this incident - which happened between 4.15pm and 4.45pm Friday - is urged to contact police on 01732 379217 or Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
