Man Charged With Robbery In Bapchild

A suspect has appeared in court charged with a robbery in Bapchild last weekend.

Kent Police attended the BP petrol station in London Road at about 9.30pm on Sunday (12th October) after staff at the store reported a man had threatened them with a weapon and demanded they hand over money. The man left with a quantity of cash.

Enquiries at the scene led to a suspect being arrested in relation to the offence less than an hour later.

Detectives have since charged Michael Pollock, 35, from Blossom Street in Bapchild with robbery and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

He appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (14th October) and was remanded in custody to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday 10th November.
