Police are appealing for witnesses after a botched moped snatch ended with a suspect riding the wrong way around a roundabout.

Officers say four people on two mopeds tried to steal a third moped in Hubert Walter Drive, Maidstone, but were disturbed.

The failed thieves sped off but were spotted later in Penenden Heath.

A police spokesman said: "Patrols pursued one of the riders to the Running Horse roundabout and then towards Blue Bell Hill. At this point, the rider drove the wrong way around the roundabout and into oncoming traffic."

Officers are seeking dashcam footage of the incident and are asking drivers to check their cameras.

The attempted theft and subsequent dangerous driving happened on Tuesday, August 16, at 8.11pm.
