The hunt is on for suspected burglars who are posing as police officers.
Detectives say there have been a number of incidents in the Kippington Road area of Sevenoaks, which are being linked to attempts to steal vehicles and burglaries.
They say that at around 9pm on Wednesday, September 11 two men approached a property in the road, wearing tracksuits and black gloves.
They were also wearing vests which had a similar appearance to clothing sometimes worn by police officers. They left shortly after.
The incident is being linked to a previous report of suspicious behaviour in the same road, on Friday, August 23, when just after 1.30am, two suspects wearing balaclavas attempted to steal a car but left empty-handed.
Police have issued images and would like to hear from anyone who can identify those pictured.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/145895/24.
You can also use the anonymous Crimestoppers number 0800 555111.
