Fireball Across the Sky

A Crawley resident is one of just a handful of people across southern England to capture a fireball as it streaked across the night sky.

Chris Chatfield tweeted the image of the event which took place on Monday evening.

The citizen scientists project UK Meteor Network said that it was the tenth fireball which was reported to them so far this year.

People took to social media saying they saw a “bright light in the sky that lasted 4 or 5 seconds”.

Surrey Police are urging carers, family and friends of vulnerable people to be on their guard, to help prevent their loved ones being exploited by fraudsters.

It comes after a 37% increase in courier fraud has been measured in the last twelve months, which is continuing to rise this year.

The warning comes as a new list of tactics used by fraudsters has been unveiled by the City of London Police.
Last year, 480 people were victims of courier fraud, with loses totalling more than £2million.
