Fantastic Response from Kent Police

I want to commend Kent Police on their response to an incident that happened this evening.

This evening my husband went to the shop.

On his way down Faversham Road, innocuously committing that crime of walking on the pavement, he was surprised to hear some commotion and a revving engine.

A car then swerved behind him on to the pavement as it's occupants, rowdy males, yelled "get out of the f-ing way".

Understandably my husband felt very threatened. He was then subject to abusive comments along the lines of "yeah you'd better carry on walking" and "we'll be waiting for you boyo" and "we're gonna get you".

I am pleased to say my husband carried on walking, didn't turn around or respond in any way. To do so, as many know, would have provoked confrontation.

He did have the forethought to check which house, car colour and registration on his way back, however.

He put in a phone call to Kent Police and they responded, sending two officers round within 30 minutes.

They were concerned the people who threatened him may know where he lived (good thinking), and went to the property to check out the occupants.

I am really delighted they took something which may have just been ASB but could equally have been quite a dangerous incident, so seriously.
