Jet washer towed away

-

A large jet washer stolen from Maidstone was so big it probably had to be towed away by a vehicle, police believe.

Officers are investigat­ing after the piece of commercial equipment, used to clean buildings and yards, was taken from Oakwood Park.

It is red and white with a logo on the sides.

The theft happened between 5pm on Friday, November 4, and 5pm on Monday, November 7.

PC Graham Sene said: “Due to the size of the washer, it is likely that it was towed away by a vehicle.

“We would be really keen to hear from anybody who has seen it or who has had it offered to them for sale.”

Anyone with informatio­n can contact police on 01622 604100 quoting reference YY/24924/16. Alternativ­ely call Crimestopp­ers, anonymousl­y, on 0800 555 111. By staging a Christmas fair at Tiger Primary, the temptation must have been to invite Santa Claws.

Tiger Primary’s parent and wider support group, PAWS, organised the fundraisin­g event, which took place at Boughton Lane’s New Line Learning Academy.

Hundreds of people attended and enjoyed games, stalls, a raffle, and festive entertainm­ent, with a particular hit being the Vision Signing Choir.

The fair raised £1,700 for the school, with Tiger PAWS set to decide how to spend the money.

Previous purchases by the group include play equipment and educationa­l games.

Charlotte Scott, head teacher at Tiger, said: “The atmosphere was fantastic, and everyone really got into the Christmas spirit. Thank you to Tiger PAWS for arranging another brilliant event and to everyone who came along for your support.”
