Kent Police are being made aware of a white van that has been stopping near to where children are playing and the driver has got out and tried to encourage a single child to return to the van with him.

On some occasions an adult female has also been seen in the vehicle.

Children have been approached in Hythe Ashford, Dover and yesterday evening in Deal.

Please can you make your scheme members aware of this message and ask them to reiterate the safety message to all children and to please make sure that those looking after children know where the children are at all times.

Almost 150 vehicles have been removed from the streets of South Kent in the latest multi-agency operation to target untaxed and abandoned vehicles.

Operation Cubit is run by Kent Police in partnership with Kent County Council and the DVLA and is also funded by Kent Fire & Rescue Service, Ashford Borough Council and the District Councils in Dover and Shepway.

Operation Cubit is now in its seventh year in South Kent and in that time, has been responsible for ridding more than 3000 untaxed vehicles from the area's streets.

Any vehicles found, or reported to be untaxed or abandoned during the operation are checked with the DVLA, then clamped and removed to be stored in a local holding area.

Any vehicle that is not claimed within 14 days is destroyed in a crusher into the shape of a cube, hence the name of the operation "cube - it".

The results for the South Kent Area are as follows:

Ashford

TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 49

Reclaimed by owner: 30

Crushed/scrapped: 19


Dover district

TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 43

Reclaimed by owner: 23

Crushed/scrapped: 20


Shepway District

TOTAL number of vehicles removed: 53

Reclaimed by owner: 22

Crushed/scrapped: 31

The DVLA state that nationally, road tax evaders cost the Exchequer millions of pounds each year.

Officers from Kent Trading Standards visit businesses to advise them of the law regarding age restricted products. We also conduct test purchase operations to test whether businesses will sell these products to our under age volunteers.

Do you know someone who sells alcohol or cigarettes to children? The sale of alcohol and tobacco to people under the age of 18 is illegal and can cause long term damage to their health.

Additionally, young people who consume alcohol have the potential to become involved with antisocial behaviour.

If you know of premises that sell alcohol or cigarettes to under 18's please let Trading Standards know via Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 or by email following the 'contact us' links on www.consumerdirect.gov.uk
