A MAN has been arrested in connection with three burglaries - including one at a charity shop.

Weldmar Hospice said the shop floor and office area of their Gillingham premises were 'ransacked' during an overnight raid, with money taken from a collection pod.

A spokesman for Gillingham Police confirmed on Tuesday that a 37 year-old local man has been arrested in connection with the incident, and two other overnight commercial burglaries in the town.
