Burglars smashed through the wall of an electrical store and stole a number of appliances.

The thieves targeted Currys PC World in Horsted Retail Park, in Maidstone Road, Chatham.

They forced their way into the building through the back wall by Rochester Airport between 3.20am and 3.40am on Thursday, September 12.

Police were called and confirmed electrical equipment was stolen.

Spokesman James Walker said: "Officers attended the scene and conducted a search of the area but no suspects were located.

"At present no arrests have been made and inquiries are ongoing."

Currys PC World has confirmed there was a break-in and the store was secured shortly afterwards.

This is not the first time the electrical giant's Chatham store has been targeted.

In April police put out a warning for buyers to be vigilant after equipment was stolen in March.
