A number of police and forensic officers have been at an old army barracks for much of the day.

Witnesses reported several police vehicles and officers in Armoury Drive, Gravesend.

Kent Police spokesman Richard Spillett said: "Kent Police was called at 10.45am on Friday, April 17 to an address in Armoury Drive, Gravesend, where they assisted the South East Coast Ambulance Service with a medical incident."

One resident of Armoury Drive said: "I woke up at 10 this morning and six or seven police cars were already here.

"At about 2pm the forensics left after a funeral Mercedes car turned up.

"I don't even know what time this all happened. Everything's normally as quiet as a mouse round here so this is very odd. The old barracks have been turning into flats for the past few years and all the guys working on it live inside."

Another witness reported seeing a private ambulance.

Officers had left by 2.20pm.
