A dark-coloured 4×4 with no front registration plates allegedly stopped outside a nightclub on Church Road before occupants reportedly fired ball bearings at the building, with a second attack following at a car showroom on London Road, according to Kent Police.
Kent Police said the incident occurred at around 1am on Saturday 7 November 2026. The vehicle allegedly pulled up outside the nightclub on the A264 Church Road, where a security guard was struck in the chest, before leaving in the direction of Mount Pleasant Road. Kent Police said no injuries were reported.
Ball bearings were then reportedly fired at a car showroom on London Road, damaging the windows of the building. Officers have released CCTV footage of a vehicle seen in the area at the time, whose occupants may be able to assist with enquiries.
