Worthing man arrested on suspicion of blackmail and assault as police search property
A Sussex Police spokesman said a 56-year-old Worthing man was arrested yesterday (May 20) on suspicion of assault, blackmail, threats to kill and acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.
The assault arrest stems back to a report of an incident in Magnolia Close, Durrington, on May 12, said the spokesman.
