Teenager charged in connection with Ashford catapult incidents
A 17 year old's due before Folkstone Magistrates next month
A teenage boy from Ashford is due in court next month, charged in connection with catapult incidents in the town.
Kent Police had a report of an assault in Simon Avenue back in February.
A catapult was allegedly fired at a man, with the victim further assaulted when confronting the suspect.
Two days later, officers had reports of someone attacking wildlife using a catapult in the Christ Church graveyard on Beaver Road.
A 17 year old boy arrested two days after that incident has now been charged with assault, possession of an offensive weapon and killing a wild bird, which is an offence under the Wildlife Act.
He's been released on bail to appear at Folkestone Magistrates Court on 10th June.
