Pair tried to snatch mobile
POLICE have released an e-fit of a knife-wielding youth who, together with another youth, attempted to snatch a mobile phone from a 32-year-old man in Marden. The two youths (pictured),
who had a Staffordshire bull terrier and a red mountain bike, approached the man as he walked his dog on a footpath near the recreation ground at the rear of The Cockpit in Marden. The youths asked the man to
hand over his mobile phone and threatened him with a small knife, but he refused and was followed back to his car by the pair, although they made no further attempt to get his phone.

The victim helped officers to produce computer-generated images of two men who they would like to speak to. Officers have released these images to see if anyone can identify them. Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Helen

THE introduction of two flags on flagpoles as part of theMaidstone HighStreet regeneration schemewas criticised for making it look like a “car showroom”. The comment was made by Cllr Richard
Lusty, chairman of theplanning committee that granted permission for the flags on 7m poles next to the re-sited cannon in the lower High Street. It is part of phase two of the High Street
scheme, which includes improvements to the public areas, increased pedestrian space and seating areas. Cllr Fran Wilson, a committee member and leader of the opposition Lib Dems, said of the
flags plan: “I dislike it intently. It is tacky, but in planning terms I can see no reason to refuse.” Theproposalwas supportedby sevenmembers, with three against and two abstentions.
