A 23-YEAR-OLD man is to be hauled before magistrates after being charged in connection with an attempted burglary in Dartford.

Police officers were called about 6.50pm on May 3 to reports of an attempted break-in at a home in Joyce Green Lane.

It is believed the man was scared off by someone coming to the door to investigate.

Billy Quinn, of no fixed abode, was arrested and charged with attempted burglary and has been remanded to appear at court. A court date is yet to be set.
