Police said "extensive damage" was caused to a car and a phone box when the fireworks were set off in Gravesend.

In both incidents, which happened within minutes of each other on Sunday night, witnesses reported seeing two men leaving the scene.

Nobody was injured, police said.

The first incident happened at about 2210 BST when a firework was set off in a phone box on Cedar Avenue.

Police said the second firework was lit under a vehicle on Palmer Avenue just "moments later".

An 18-year-old man was arrested early on Monday morning and remained in custody being questioned on Monday afternoon, officers said.

Police do not believe the latest incidents are linked to two firework attacks in the Longfield area of Dartford in September.
