Two men have been charged in connection with a burglary at a business.
On Thursday staff at a warehouse in Phoenix Park, Maidstone, reported the premises had been broken into overnight.
It is alleged a large number of parcels were stolen, along with a van.
Later the same day the stolen van was stopped by police in Maidstone and two men were arrested. The parcels have not been recovered.
David Walker, 23, of Second Avenue, Gillingham, and Jimmy Read, 23, of no fixed address, were later charged with conspiring to commit burglary with intent to steal.
They appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Saturday. Both suspects were then bailed to a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court January 4.
An investigation into the burglary is ongoing and detectives are appealing to anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the Phoenix Park area between 5pm on Wednesday and 1am on Thursday to contact them.
