Pair stray into bomb site
The Sussex Police and ambulance helicopter was scrambled to check the area after a member of the public had found a piece of unexploded bomb earlier in the evening.
The bomb disposal unit set up a cordon but the helicopter's infra-red thermal camera picked up two people on a footpath inside the cordon.

Acting police sergeant Andy McMahon said: "We thought we would let residents know what we were doing due to the noise from the helicopter over a built-up area at night."
