Gravesend motorists reminded to secure vehicles after a spate of incidents in King's Farm where motorcycles have been taken and dumped

Four vehicles in the same Gravesend street have been stolen and abandoned in just three days, police have revealed.

Motorists have been reminded to secure their vehicles in the King's Farm area following a spate of incidents last month, including four in Whitehill Lane between November 20 and 22.

Addresses across Singlewell and Woodlands have also been targeted.

The vehicles, mostly motorcycles, have been taken without the owners' consent before being dumped in a field accessed via Singlewell Road and Cedar Avenue.

King’s Farm PCSO Kirsty Lowe said: "By following a few simple steps, motorcycle owners can significantly reduce the chances of becoming victims of crime.

"For example, always lock your bike and set the alarm if it has one. You can also buy motorbike covers and special fittings that enable you to lock your bike to something secure at home.

"Also ensure your bike is marked with its vehicle identification number (VIN) so it can be returned to you if stolen."
