A Snodland man has been charged following a night-time robbery at a service station.

At around 3am on Saturday, May 22, a man entered the BP garage in Holborough Road and demanded staff hand over money from the tills.

The suspect then left with the cash.

The next day, officers arrested Dean Ianson, 20, at his home address in Nevill Road, Snodland.

He was taken into custody and later charged with robbery.

Mr Ianson appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court yesterday, where he was granted bail.

His next appearance will be at Maidstone Crown Court in June.
