A man had his watch stolen after he was pushed to the ground in a town centre robbery.

The victim - described as in his 50s and having previously spoken to the pair who took the timepiece - was in an area close to All Saints Church on Mill Street in Maidstone when the crime occurred.

He had walked there with his alleged assailants after meeting them in Brenchley Gardens at around 8.35pm on Tuesday.

Having arrived near to the church, one of the men is said to have pushed the victim to the ground before the second man threatened him.

They then made off with the victim's watch, described by police as "gold coloured". Having suffered a serious leg injury in the fall, the victim was later taken to hospital.

Both suspects are white, 5ft 10ins tall and of heavy build. One was bald, aged around 30 and was wearing shorts and a sleeveless top.

The other had cropped hair, was around 35 and was wearing a blue tracksuit and a hat or cap.

Anyone with information is urged to call the appeal line on 01622 604100 quoting crime reference 46/93267/20
