A suspect has been arrested after being accused of pulling at a woman’s coat and demanding she hand over her shopping in a high street.
Police received a report of the incident in Canterbury High Street which is said to have happened at about 10.30pm yesterday.
After pulling at her coat and demanding her shopping, the man is alleged to have followed the woman into a shop.
The woman alerted the shop staff to his behaviour and the man left the store, police say.
Officers investigating the incident later arrested a 32-year-old man who remains in custody while inquiries are ongoing.
A further report was received of a man behaving suspiciously in the same area earlier that evening, and officers are keen for anyone with information about either incident - which they are treating as linked - to come forward.
Witnesses are urged to contact police on 01843 222289 quoting reference 46/66983/24.
