William Street

A computer-generated image has been issued following a report of a sexual assault in Sittingbourne.

Kent police received a report that a man was followed while walking along William Street at about 3.30pm on Monday 22nd December 2025.

The suspect reportedly made a sexual comment before touching him inappropriately over his clothes. After the victim confronted him about his actions, the suspect left the scene in the direction of the High Street.

Sittingbourne fire crews were called to a domestic shed fire in the back garden of a property in William Street earlier today.

Kent Fire And Rescue (KFRS) were called just after 10.30 am this morning (Tuesday 2nd February) and had to access the blaze using a hose from a fire engine in Park Road.

Park Road was closed to vehicles until 11:15am.

It is thought that a faulty tumble dryer, being used in the shed at the time, caused the blaze which also damaged ajoining fence panels.
