A stolen digger has been recovered after police officers on patrol spotted a suspicious van towing a trailer through Dartford. Officers first saw a Ford Transit van towing an empty trailer along Hawley Road at around 12.30am on Thursday, September 3. A short time later, the same vehicle was spotted on Green Street Green Road – but this time there was a digger loaded onto the trailer.

The woman has since been released on police bail while officers continue their enquiries into the incident.
