Residents in the Crawley Down and Snow Hill area who own sheds and outbuildings are being advised to secure the property with appropriate lighting and alarms.

Following police enquiries, a 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary of two outbuildings in Furnace Wood, Crawley Down, last week.

Garden equipment was stolen from these buildings during the incident.

Sergeant Graeme Prentice has asked local outbuilding owners to check and make sure they are secure, to avoid this type of theft.
