Police have arrested two men following reports people were attempted to steal vehicles.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, officers received a report people had been seen tampering with vehicles before trying to gain access to others parked on the Cattle Market in Sandwich.

Police worked together with CCTV operators and a short time later, two people were arrested.

Two vehicles were seized, one of which was reported to have been stolen during the previous evening.

Officers also recovered a suspected stolen jacket and quantities of cannabis and suspected cocaine.
