Police are investigating whether a string of motorbike thefts could be linked.

The incidents, of which at least 10 were reported between January 3 to January 19, occurred across addresses in Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood.

On each occasion it is alleged a group of men attended a residential property and stole a motorbike.

Emergency call handlers received eight reports of vehicle theft and two reports of attempted vehicle theft between January 3-19.

Investigations are underway into the theft of:

• A Honda motorbike from an address near Rochester High Street, overnight between January 3 and 4

• A Suzuki motorbike from an address near Priestfield Road, Gillingham between 9.30pm and 10.50pm on January 6

• A Honda motorbike from an address near Canterbury Street, Gillingham at around 7.35pm on January 7

Two more attempted thefts were reported from King Arthur’s Drive in Strood and Binland Grove in Chatham on January 10.

Officers are treating the reports as isolated incidents but are not ruling out the possibility the events are linked.

Detectives have now released two CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to.
