Three New Hovercraft Stolen From Whitfield

Tuesday, 4 April 2006
Three new hovercraft have been stolen from Whitfield.

Three Flying Fish hovercraft, which were on a trailer at the Honeywood Road business park, were taken between 12.30pm on Sunday and 8.45am on Monday.

The hovercraft were all 10 feet by six feet. One was purple and blue, one was white and green and the other was yellow and blue.

Meanwhile, police are warning people to be vigilant after a security officer's jacket was stolen from a house in Dover and could be used by someone pretending to be a police officer.

It was stolen from a house in Frith Road Dover late on Friday night and is a long black jacket with police style epaulets on the shoulders with the letters CW8 and a shield-shaped badge.

The offender who stole it is described as a white man of slim build, aged 17 to 20 years old, about five feet five inches tall, with fair short hair.

He was clean-shaven, with a local accent and was wearing a hooded zip up jacket with a white front and light and dark blue down the sides, navy blue tracksuit bottoms, light-coloured baseball cap and white trainers.

Crime Researcher PC Phil Harvey-Hendley said: "There is a chance the offender may try to use this jacket to trick people into thinking he is an official, or a policemen, so I would urge everyone to be vigilant about bogus officials calling at their homes."

Anyone with information about these thefts is asked to contact Kent Police on 01304 240055.

Alternatively, call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The call is free, you do not have to give your name, and there could be a reward.
