Sussex Police Crime Alert

Good morning residents

We continue to receive reports of break in of garden outbuildings and garages, mainly in Bramber, Steyning, Pulborough and West Chiltington.

During these incidents, a vehicle was broken into and hundreds of pounds of tools were stolen and during the other break ins, tools were also stolen. 

Thieves target buildings that are easily accessible and Secured by Design provides some great preventative advice that makes breaking into property more difficult and time consuming and therefore less desirable. 

External lighting in areas where you have outbuildings can help, along with CCTV and dummy devices can also act as a deterant.

We continue to investigate these break ins and ask that you report any information to us on 101 or online at https://www.sussex.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/
