The police helicopter helped in the search for a stolen car.

The chopper was seen hovering over the Sonora Fields area of Sittingbourne this evening.

The aircraft from the National Police Air Service based at Boreham was enlisted to help track the white BMW after it was reported stolen in London last week.

It was traced to an address in Sittingbourne, but no one was seen in or near the car.

A police spokesman said: "Enquiries are ongoing."

It comes after the helicopter was called to help search the River Medway after a man was seen jumping from Medway Bridge.
