Police appeal after spike in Maidenbower and Pound Hill theft attempts

Crawley cops are on the lookout for a mysterious figure they’ve dubbed “Brolly Man” amid a surge of attempted car break-ins in Maidenbower and Pound Hill. The force believes this man holds key info to crack the case wide open.

“Brolly Man, we need you!” – Police plea

In an official statement, Crawley police urged the elusive Brolly Man to come forward. A spokesperson declared, “If Brolly Man is reading this, we urge him to speak to us. We believe he may have information that could greatly aid our investigation.”

Public urged to report sightings, but not to dial 999

Failing that, cops want the public’s help. If you spot or know anything about Brolly Man, call 101 quoting serial 999 of 22/03. But beware — 999 should only be dialled for emergencies. Police stress using 101 for all non-urgent tips on the break-ins or Brolly Man is essential.
