Four masked men raided a store which led to a police chase following a robbery.

The group went into the EE phone shop in Bligh’s Walk, Sevenoaks, at around 3.50pm yesterday wearing balaclavas.

They forced open a door before stealing phones and tablets worth thousands of pounds from the stockroom.

Police were alerted and a car linked to the suspects was identified.

An Audi A5 was tracked to the M25 and found as it was travelling towards the Dartford Crossing.

The vehicle was stopped at around 4.30pm – less than an hour after the raid – on the Essex side and four occupants were arrested and taken into custody.
