A 14-year-old girl and a woman in her 20s have been arrested on suspicion of stealing from a car in Thanet.

While on patrol in Margate during the early hours of Monday, police stopped two people they believed were acting 'suspiciously' near vehicles in Orchard Road.

A number of items that are believed to have been stolen, including a car radio, keys, and sat navs, were recovered by officers at the scene.

A 24-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl, both from Margate, were arrested on suspicion of theft from a vehicle.

The woman was also arrested on suspicion of possessing a knife.

They have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Police are working to identify the owners of the recovered goods, and officers are appealing to vehicle owners to report thefts from their cars if they have not already done so, by calling 101 or reporting it via the Kent Police website.

Investigating officer PC Joanna Mackay said: "We are also taking this opportunity to remind people to remove valuables from their cars and ensure nothing – not even loose change - is left on display.

"Be vigilant and report anything suspicious to us."
