Two men have been charged with theft after five mobile phones were stolen from a supermarket.

The handsets were taken from a display in the Tesco in Lunsford Park, Larkfield, at 4.23pm on Saturday.

It is reported a member of staff was threatened when attempts were made to challenge the suspects as they left the premises.

Police were called and identified a vehicle linked to the theft.

They tracked and followed it to Sidcup where two men were arrested.

Ion Ion, 29, of Roxwell Road, Barking, Greater London and Samson Busuioc, 27, of Green Lane, Dagenham, Essex, have been charged with theft.

They were both released on bail and are due to appear at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court on November 28.
