Flat break-in suspect was apprehended

The Northcliffe Road home was entered on November 3, after the offender smashed open a door.

An untidy search of the property was then made and items were stolen.

Sometime later, a suspect was arrested by police officers.

Four days earlier, a vehicle parked in Victoria Road South was broken into.

The thief managed to get in by smashing the passenger side window.

They then made off with tools including a Dewalt cordless drill and an angle grinder.

Motorists are reminded to make sure they always lock vehicles.

Anyone who has any information about the above crimes should contact Sussex Police on 101. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Crime prevention advice is available from local officers.
