A 24-year-old man is to appear in court charged with robberies in Ramsgate and Canterbury.

Patrick Moss, of Hereson Road in Ramsgate, was charged yesterday with a total of seven offences, including possession of a knife.

The first charge relates to a robbery of a convenience store in Wincheap Saturday evening, in which alcohol was reported stolen.
