More British Looting. Artefact Hunting on Scheduled Site in Kent

 Kent Police Tonbridge and Malling,  reports of criminal damage at Little Kits Coty House. The digging and removal of artefacts from the ground will be investigated. How? (Not a rhetorical question). 

If the police are to protect this heritage, what changes would have to be made in the regulation of the collecting of and trade in archaeological objects to make that possible given the existing resources? Surely instead of just shrugging shoulders as more and more culture criminals get away with it, all those that (really) care about the past and its archaeological study should be able to find ways to reduce the chances that they can.
