Almost a dozen vehicles have been scratched up in a residential area prompting police to charge a suspect.

A total of 11 vehicles sustained damage between November 2023 and January 2024 in Prince Andrew Road and Linley Road, Broadstairs, police say.

Anthony Warren, 38, of Prince Andrew Road, was taken into custody on Tuesday 13 February and has since been charged with causing criminal damage in connection with each of the incidents.

Cars were scratched on his street and adjoining Linley Road, with one damaged vehicle found to have two punctured tyres.

The damage was reported to have been caused by a sharp object, police say.

Warren has been bailed to attend Folkestone Magistrates’ Court on Monday 11 March.
