Sheer Brass Neck: Burglars Target Maidstone Magistrates' Court


Maidstone Magistrates' Court remained closed today after being burgled over the weekend.

It is thought that burglars entered the building, which is adjacent to the town's police station, at around 5 am on Sunday morning. Maybe they knew that the police station didn't open until 9 am? Computer equipment was taken in the raid, which left office staff unable to complete their work this morning.

Today's list was transferred to Maidstone Crown Court. It is hoped that Maidstone Magistrates' Court will be open as usual tomorrow.

Officers are appealing for anyone with information that may assist the investigation to call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 08-0201.
