Police are appealing for witnesses after a hot tub was stolen from a back garden.

Thieves removed fence panels to the property in Chestnut Street, Borden, so they could gain access to the grey Elite Spa Tania Hot Tub.

The theft happened sometime between December 11 and December 15.

It is thought a lorry or trailer was used to transport the hot tub and a number of people would have been needed to lift the heavy item.

The hot tub is two and a half metres square and one and a half metres high with a graphite grey exterior, a grey flip lid and matt grey inside.

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Duncan at Sittingbourne Police on 01795 419177. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
