A fruit machine and a cash box were stolen during a late-night raid on West Malling Golf Course.

Two thieves broke into the Trottiscliffe Road course's club house at 12.40am today, with at least one of them making off across the green when the alarm was triggered.

It is unclear how much money was stolen but no arrests have yet been made.

Detectives are now appealing for information to help catch those responsible.
