Big thank you to the members of public who assisted our town centre PC and PCSO who were both assaulted yesterday when arresting a violent shoplifter in

E-Scooters remain illegal to use other than on private land and Police will seize them if you are stopped, as we did with these 2 in
#Chatham
Town Centre. You also risk an expensive court date for no insurance. They cannot be insured so cannot be returned.
