A boy has been arrested on suspicion of burgling a business in Bexhill.
Police were called to Western Road at 5.37am on Thursday (September 3) to reports of a break-in at a shop.

“In this case, our officers responded swiftly and were able to have someone in custody within half an hour of the 999 call coming in. Our enquiries into the matter are now ongoing.”
