A man was chased by strangers and then frog-marched to his home so they could steal from him.

The victim, in his 20s, was chased by two men in Thistle Road, Gravesend, and when they caught him, they forced him to his home.

Once there, the two men were joined briefly by a third man and they allegedly stole cash, a wristwatch and a laptop.

The original pair then forced the victim to leave the house but they ran off when they saw a passing police car in Ingoldsby Road.

The two men who initially approached the victim are described as black, aged 19 to 25, and of slim build. One had a stubbly beard and sideburns, and was wearing a light grey waterproof jacket and tracksuit bottoms.

The second suspect had dark freckles on his cheeks, a small moustache, short hair in plaits, and was wearing dark clothing including a two-tone tracksuit top with a V-shape on the front.

The third man is described as black, also of slim build, and was wearing a white hooded top and a black balaclava that showed only his eyes.
