A man has appeared in court charged with 10 offences after a car and bank cards were stolen from homes across Gravesend and Dartford.

The items were taken during a spate of burglaries across the towns between November 8 and November 10.

Various pieces of electrical equipment were also stolen, and an investigation was launched by the Chief Constable’s Crime Squad.

Charges have now been brought against Stefan Duducal, who is alleged to have burgled four homes, and attempted to enter a further six.

The 36-year-old, of Westmorland Close, Ilford, was arrested on suspicion of the offences during the early hours of November 10, and later charged with four burglaries and six attempted burglaries.

He was remanded in custody and appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court on November 11.

At the hearing he was remanded in custody to next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday, December 9.
