Vandals Wreak Havoc in Crawley – Police Hunt Masked Thugs
Bricks, Machetes and Stones: Crawley Home Under Siege
A Crawley property on Irving Walk has been targeted by vandals multiple times over the last few months. It all began on September 14, 2024, when a brick smashed a window frame. Then, in a brazen attack just after 4am on October 26, a machete was used to smash the porch glass.
