Some took reportedly took place in Essex.

The 29-year-old was remanded to appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court today.

His arrest followed that of two other suspects - Benjamin Legg, 27, and Jack Piccolo, 25 - who were previously charged with seven and 10 burglaries respectively, which also included offences in Rochester.
