Cars targeted in Handcross by thieves

Before Christmas a number of vehicles were targeted in the Ardingly and West Hoathly areas.

The incidents involved cars being damaged by people stealing parts from them, including petrol caps, headlight pieces or batteries.

PCSO Anika Clough said: “Please ensure when leaving your vehicle, it is locked and any alarms are set. If possible, please try to park it in a well lit area as this damage is being caused once it becomes dark.”

If you have noticed any suspicious behaviour or have any information please contact police on 101 quoting 1214 of 4/1 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
