Worthing burglaries: Man pleads guilty to multiple crimes

Sussex Police revealed last week that 30-year-old Fardin Farji – ‘currently of no fixed address’ – was arrested in Brighton on the morning of Sunday, June 4.

He was arrested and charged with committing ‘multiple offences’ in Worthing, police said. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorised 12 charges against him, after a case was presented by Worthing CID.

Police said Farji appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Monday (June 5) where he was remanded in custody ahead of his next hearing at the same court.

This took place on Tuesday (June 13) and Farji pleaded guilty to all 12 offences, the CPS confirmed.

“The next hearing is a committal for sentencing on July 11 at Lewes Crown Court,” a CPS spokesperson said.
