A man has appeared in court after a car, jewels and more were taken during a break-in.

A house in Dornden Drive, Langton Green, in Tunbridge Wells was targeted and a car, jewellery and other property stolen sometime between Saturday, December 31, and Sunday, January 1.

The victim's car was later recovered from a road in Addington, Croydon.

On Wednesday, January 11, a man and a woman were detained and officers seized a flick knife.

The 43-year-old appeared before Medway Magistrates' Court yesterday when he was remanded in custody to a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on February 9.

A 43-year-old woman, also from South Croydon, has been bailed until March 8.
