A suspect has appeared in court charged with a robbery in Bapchild. Kent Police said they attended a petrol station in London Road at around 9.30pm on Sunday, October 12, 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, Bapchild with robbery and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

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