A man from Mitcham has been charged after a burglary near the A20 in Maidstone, where one of the suspects allegedly pretended to be a delivery driver.
Kent Police were called to a property near Ashford Road shortly before 9am on March 21, following reports of an aggravated burglary.
It is alleged one of the men posed as a delivery driver and another threatened the occupants before assaulting one of the victims and stealing a quantity of cash.
