A man has been charged with aggravated burglary at a house in Dartford.

James Draper, 35, of Magpie Hall Close, Bromley, is accused of breaking into a property, in Birchwood Road, on September 25 last year, and stealing jewellery, cash and a car.

He is also alleged to have had a knife on him at the time.

Draper was arrested last Thursday and charged the following day.

He has been remanded in custody and will appear at Maidstone Crown Court on August 16.

A 17-year-old boy from Dartford was sentenced for the same offence in April earlier this year.
