Police Road Safety Operation In Swale

Dangerous drivers were reported and cars were seized by officers tackling nuisance motorists in Sittingbourne at the end of last month.

On Wednesday 25th February patrols attended the High Street area to carry out checks following concerns raised about road safety in the area.

During the day, a total of 13 traffic offence reports were given to drivers for offences such as mobile phone use at the wheel, having no insurance and not wearing a seatbelt.

Three vehicles were seized along with four e-scooters.

A car was stopped along Sheppey Way, Bobbing and found to have four children in the vehicle not wearing a seatbelt. The driver was issued a traffic offence report.

On the same road, officers stopped a car due to the manner of the driving and the driver was found to be in possession of cannabis. Jordan Norton, 36 from Cavell Way, Sittingbourne was arrested and later charged with possession of a class B drug. He is due to appear at Maidstone Magistrates’ Court on Monday 1st June 2026.

Sergeant Craig Harris told SFM News: "Road safety is a responsibility we all share, and these checks were carried out to protect everyone who uses our roads. The offences we dealt with are entirely avoidable, yet they put lives at risk every day. We will continue to take action against those who choose to disregard the law and endanger others."
