A man has been arrested after suspected lead thieves targeted a pub in the early hours, damaging the front of the building.
Managers of The Pheasant in Kennington, Ashford, issued an appeal after the site was hit on Friday.
Daniel and Keely Sutton – who run the pub off Trinity Road – offered anyone who can provide information about the incident with a free meal.
Appealing for help, they said: “They knew exactly what they were coming for and where they were going.
“They have caused a considerable amount of damage to our business all for a quick quid.”
Security footage shows a masked and hooded individual clambering up a fence.
The Suttons say the incident occurred between 3am and 4am and that two suspects walked down a path at the side of the pub and hopped into the garden, leaving the same way towards Hurst Road.
All of the lead on a bay window was removed, and the whole incident was caught on CCTV.
“If anyone has any further information please let us know. We will reward you with a meal on us as a thank you,” the Suttons added.
A police spokesman confirmed officers have made an arrest.
“It was reported at around 3am on Friday, June 27 that a window of a commercial property had been stripped of lead, causing damage,” they said.
“A man in his 30s was arrested in relation to the incident and has since been released on bail while inquiries continue.”
