A man remains in a critical condition following a robbery in Crawley last week.
The 30-year-old hit his head after being punched outside Coral bookmakers in Ifield Parade before having his wallet stolen.
An 18 and 15-year-old have been charged with the incident. Three other youths were also arrested but later released without charge.
Two people had to be cut from their cars following an accident in Banstead yesterday morning.
Their cars collided, with one of them hitting a tree and catching fire, on Croydon Road just after 8 am.

They’ve said strikes and unprecedented levels of sick leave were factors, although, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling says it doesn’t fully explain the poor service.

Guy Perkins from Yattendon School in Oakwood Road, told the paper the need to save £90,000 a year means he can’t afford to pay the four higher-level teaching assistants and one special needs co-ordinator.
He’s described it as probably of the worst decisions he’s had to make and that one of those losing their job had been there for 21 years.
