Four people have been arrested after a smash-and-grab raid on a jewellery shop.

Diamond rings were taken when two men on a motorbike used a hammer to break the window of the store in Deal High Street.

Kent Police today arrested three men - aged 20, 21 and 30 - on suspicion of burglary. A 23-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

All four are from the Dover area and are in police custody.

Officers were called to the A Simmonds store at about 4.50pm yesterday.

The two men are believed to have been riding a red and white Suzuki motorbike, which they drove off at high speed towards north Deal.
