A house was set on fire and a car stolen in a suspected burglary.

A property in Kippington Road, Sevenoaks, was targeted between January 3 and January 4.

The victim says they returned home to find it had been broken into.

They then realised a fire had been lit in one of the rooms, which, although had burnt out, had left scorch marks on the walls.

A black Saab estate had been stolen from the driveway and three paintings were also taken, along with other valuables including jewellery and porcelain items.

Images of two of the stolen paintings – one a portrait of a woman and the other a seascape – have been released in the hope of tracking them down.

There are no photos of the third portrait, which shows a picture of cows.

Police are now urging anyone with information to come forward to assist inquiries.

They are also asking anyone who may have been offered the stolen items to get in touch.

Anyone with information should call police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/2704/24.

People can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
