We are reminding residents to ensure when you are leaving your home/outbuildings unattended that you keep all windows/doors closed.

It’s so tempting to leave a window open especially during the recent hot weather period.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of burglary and enhance the security of your home.

🔑 Always lock your doors,

🪟 Keep windows closed

🚨 Consider installing a burglar alarm or CCTV system to provide an additional layer of security.

Get out into nature ✅

With a catapult? ❌

Dangerous use of catapults puts wildlife, especially birds, at risk of serious injury and death.

Did you know that it’s a crime to kill, harm, or take a wild bird under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981?

Offenders can face an unlimited fine and up to six months in jail.

Help us protect our local wildlife; if you see someone using a catapult against wildlife report it to us.

If the crime is in progress call 999. Otherwise, you can report online or by calling 101.

A mugger who followed a woman walking in Crawley to take her handbag has been jailed.

Steven Mulroe was riding a bicycle and followed the woman before doubling back to confront her.

The ordeal left the victim shaken.

He admitted robbery and other offences when he appeared for sentencing last month.

Detective Chief Inspector Pauline Lane said: “Tackling violence against women and girls is a priority for Sussex Police, and we were determined to get justice for the victim in this case."

A single glove gave officers a helping hand in solving vehicle crime in Crawley.

Police were called to reports of two males – wearing dark clothing, balaclavas and gloves – trying car doors in the early hours of the morning.

A Dog Unit officer located the two suspects and spotted three gloves discarded close by.

She detained them with the help of six-year-old German Shepherd PD Nessa while awaiting back-up, and was able to put her finger on it when a fourth glove matching the other three was found on one of the suspects.

The missing piece of the puzzle fit like a glove and the suspects were arrested.
