An imitation firearm and other weapons were seized following reports of an attempted burglary.

On Saturday, March 9, police were called at around 2pm about a group of men behaving suspiciously outside an address in St Thomas Hill, Canterbury.

Officers attended and detained five men.

A search led to an imitation firearm, a knife and a set of bolt cutters being recovered.

An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm, possession of a bladed article and going equipped to steal.

He has since been bailed pending further inquiries.
