A 32-year-old man has been arrested after a devastating weekend vandalism spree left nearly 70 vehicles with smashed windscreens and windows across Folkestone.

Kent Police has confirmed that a total of 67 damaged vehicles have been reported so far, in a trail of destruction that spanned from the West End of the town to the east coast between Friday and Sunday, June 19 and 21.

The crimewave began on Friday night in the West End of Folkestone, where 24 vehicle windscreens - including that of a VW campavan - were smashed.
