They remain under investigation and officers are working to establish if any other houses in the road or nearby areas have been targeted.

PC Maddison Jarvis said: "The suspect is believed to have accessed the rear gardens of these addresses and tried several door handles to gain entry, before leaving empty handed.

"Although we have carried out house-to-house inquiries in this road, there may still be people we have yet to speak to, who have important footage or images stored on home security devices.

"We are particularly keen for residents to check for any suspicious activity between 1am and 2am.

"Those living in surrounding areas may also have important footage."

Anyone with information should call the west Kent appeals line on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/32482/23.
