A man has been released on bail after an armed police stand-off at a house in Tonbridge.

Officers with rifles and dogs arrested the man in connection with a burglary in Sevenoaks early on Tuesday.

Several teams of heavily-armed officers surrounded the property in Hunt Road for several hours from about 8am while attempting to arrest a suspect.

Neighbours were told to stay indoors while a cordon was thrown around several streets.

A Kent Police spokesman confirmed at 11.15am that a man had been arrested.
