Rolex Yacht Master watch and other luxury items seized from Whistable man following road rage incident in Chatham Hill

A luxury watch and designer goods have been seized from a road-rage suspect who had outstanding court order against him.

Police were initially called to a collision between a tipper van and a car in Chatham Hill, Chatham, at around 5.25pm on Thursday, January 13.

But while patrols were en-route, the two occupants of the van are said to have behaved aggressively towards the driver of the car, before demanding he use a banking app to transfer £1,000.

Both men, who are aged 28 and 37 and from Whitstable and Rochester respectively, were arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery and possessing cannabis.

Although they have since been released pending further inquiries for this case, the 28-year-old was recalled to prison for breaching the terms of a licence imposed for a separate matter.

He was also found to have an outstanding confiscation order, to the value of £76,481, against his name.

A search of his house led to high value goods being seized, as they are suspected to have been gained through the proceeds of crime.

Items seized include a Rolex Yacht Master watch and large quantities of designer clothes, shoes and handbags.

On Monday, financial investigators from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate successfully applied for a warrant of further detention at Maidstone Magistrates’ Court.

The warrant allows the force to keep the property for a year, while further financial inquiries are carried out.
