We are also looking into a number of burglaries in Surrey to see if they are also linked. The thefts all took place between the beginning of January and middle of March. As well as personal items, a number of victims also reported that money was taken during the break-ins and has left them feeling unsettled.”
A 35-year-old man from Brighton, a 31-year-old man from Southwick and a 31-year-old man from Shoreham have all been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary and have been released under investigation.
