A large jet washer stolen from Maidstone was so big it probably had to be towed away by a vehicle, police have said.

Officers are investigating after the piece of commercial equipment, used to clean buildings and yards, was taken from Oakwood Park.

It is red and white with a logo on the sides.

The theft happened between 5pm on Friday, November 4 and 5pm on Monday, November 7.

Police are issuing an appeal now as they have just received the photo.

PC Graham Sene said: "Due to the size of the washer, it is likely that it was towed away by a vehicle.

"We would be really keen to hear from anybody who has seen it or who has had it offered to them for sale."
