The police are still trying to trace the driver of a stolen car after it crashed into a doctor's surgery.

It happened at 11.39pm on Friday in New Romney's High Street.

It is understood the exterior of the Oak Hall Surgery was damaged, but it remains open today.

The driver had left the scene before officers got there.

A police spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing to locate the driver.

"The silver Ford Focus car was reported to have been stolen from Mountfield Road in New Romney during the same evening."

The semi-detached Pilgrims Hospice shop next door was unaffected.

Those with information regarding the theft or the collision are asked to contact Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting ZY/1804/17.
