Crime Alert

Title: Crime Alert

There has been a spate of burglaries that have occurred in the villages south to Horsham District. Burglars are targeting large detached houses with the aim of stealing cash and jewellery. Offences have primarily been occurring between 0800hrs - 1700 hrs with the offenders entering premises via the rear of the property.

There is a common theme in that the offenders are utilising items found in the garden or shed/greenhouse to assist with gaining entry to the property.

Please ensure that you lock and secure your outbuildings. Side gates should be locked shut and access to the rear of your house restricted. Please keep an eye out in your street and report suspicious activity immediately to Sussex Police on 101 or 999 if you believe that a crime is in progress.
