Trail of rubbish outside Horsham church leads police to culprit

A trail of rubbish left strewn outside a Horsham church led police directly to the culprit.

Officers say that the suspect initially made off from them after they spotted the litter outside Holy Trinity Church in Rushams Road.

A spokesperson said: “They were located a short distance away and refusing to provide any details.

“They didn’t seem inclined to tidy up the mess - so we did it on their behalf after giving words of advice.”
