UPDATE: Police are urgently investigating a disturbing incident involving pig trotters thrown at a children’s home in Faversham, believed to be racially motivated. Authorities have arrested two suspects: a 54-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, both from Faversham, following reports received about the incident on October 7.
The shocking act occurred at Acacia Court, a facility housing unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. Police confirmed that both individuals were arrested on suspicion of racially or religiously aggravated harassment and have since been released on bail while investigations proceed.
A police spokesman stated, “We are treating this incident with the utmost seriousness and are committed to getting to the bottom of these allegations.” This incident adds to growing concerns in the community, as Acacia Court has been the focal point for numerous anti-immigration protests in recent months.

Community leaders are calling for swift justice and have urged locals to come together to support the children at Acacia Court during this troubling time. “This is not just an attack on a building; it’s an attack on innocent lives,” one local activist stated.
Authorities are appealing to anyone with information about the incident to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and police are working diligently to ensure the safety and security of the residents at Acacia Court.
As developments unfold, community members are encouraged to stand against hate and support the vulnerable individuals affected by this incident. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation progresses.
