Surrey Police is appealing for information following a burglary at a property on Honeycrock Lane in Redhill in which jewellery and cash was stolen.

The theft occurred just after 6pm on Thursday, 15 January when three men with their face covered broke in via the back door.

They left heading towards the A23.

The day before the burglary, two men were seen near the same house looking through the windows of the property.

Police have released CCTV footage of the men which can be seen on their web site.

Statistics show that recorded crime in Sussex has fallen by 12 per cent since 2010.

Crawley MP Henry Smith said that tougher sentencing was having the right effect. He also mentioned how tackling the root causes of crime also had an effect on the figure

He also felt that the establishment of the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner led to the police being directly accountable to the public, without having an effect on operations.

Following an appeal on BBC Crimewatch on Wednesday, Det Sgt Steve Muncaster said there had been “a very positive response”.
He said several callers had recognised a man seen on CCTV at a local station.
