A car stopped this weekend by police investigating a raid was discovered to have more than 450 stolen items stashed in it.

Amazed police officers say the haul amounted to thousands of pounds of suspected stolen goods.

Officers pulled the Vauxhall Zafira over after it was seen leaving a theft in Sevenoaks.

And inside some 458 items - all believed to have been pinched - were recovered.

In a tweet on X, the Kent Policing Road unit (RPU) said: “How many stolen items can you fit in a Vauxhall Zafira? 458 it would seem!!

“RPU stopped this vehicle yesterday after it was seen leaving a theft in Sevenoaks. Searched and found to contain thousands of pounds of suspected stolen goods.”

Five people are now in custody.
