Medway McDonald’s branches targeted by armed criminals

In the space of just five days, two Medway branches of the popular fast-food chain McDonald’s have been targeted by armed criminals.

On Wednesday, a 999 call was made at around 10:15, at the same time as a man wielding a gun was reportedly robbing the family-friendly restaurant in Chatham.

Just five days before, two men armed with an axe and sledgehammer made off with around £2,000 from McDonald’s in Strood.

Although police have caught the Chatham robber, they are still looking for the Strood duo.

Anyone with information on either incident should contact Medway Police Station on 01634 792529 or call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
