A stolen mobility scooter was found dumped in a field more than four miles away from its owner's home.

The red vehicle, belonging to a pensioner in his 80s, had been reportedly taken during a burglary in Tenterden.

It was believed to have been swiped from a garage in Hales Close between 9.30am on Thursday, January 17 and 1pm the next day.

But the scooter was later found in a field in Woodchurch.

A Nokia mobile phone, which was kept in the scooter, was also reported stolen and remains missing.
