Officers had a mess to clear up after a fire extinguisher went off in the back of a police car.

Kent Police's Roads Policing Unit tweeted a picture of a patrol vehicle this afternoon which was in need of a valet.

The inside of the boot and its contents were covered in white powder.

The caption with the picture said: "Oops!! The result of a fire extinguisher going off in the unmarked, whilst on a flash call #wearecoveredinpowder."
