Police appeal over ‘suspect vehicles’ after Horsham incident

Police say that a white Transit van was spotted reversing into premises in Brighton Road, Horsham.

The vehicle’s passengers started loading property into it when a member of the public challenged them over what they were doing.

They got back into the van and drove off with around £80 worth of stolen property.

Police, who say the incident happened on August 18, are now asking the public for help in reporting any suspect vehicles.

A spokesman said: “Please, if you see any such vehicle contact the police on the non-emergency number 101 with as much information as possible.

“This includes date and time, where and a good description of the vehicle including the reg no and of any people.

“Please do not put yourself in any danger but if possible take a photograph. By suppling this information, it puts a vehicle in a location at a certain time, this could help us if a crime takes place in your locality around that time.

“Remember as much of a pain it is, please keep your roadside gates closed at all times as an open gate is an invitation to enter.”
