Two men have been arrested and charged after a man was robbed of his phone and bank card.

Officers were called to Chatham High Street following reports of the incident.

A local policing team were sent to the scene at around 6.50pm on Saturday and worked with camera operators from Medway Council to track the suspects.

Their efforts led to both suspects being detained in the high street at around 7.15pm on Saturday.

Jamil Onilearan and Ghandi Mallak are alleged to have robbed a man of a phone, a bank card and a train ticket.

As a result of further searches, a quantity of heroin and crack cocaine was seized by the officers.

Onilearan, 20, of no fixed address, has since been charged with robbery and possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply.

Mallak, 22, of no fixed address, has been charged with the same offences and an additional count of assault.

The extra charge relates to an allegation he assaulted a man who attempted to assist the robbery victim.

Both men appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Monday, February 28.

At the hearing, they were remanded in custody and will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday, March 28.
