Two brothers have been jailed for five years for breaking into a Reigate family’s home and saying they would kill them.

18-year-old Harry and 20-year-old Charlie Stockwell broke into the house on Alexander Road in October and threatened the five occupants with a BB-gun and broken blade.

The two also smashed windows and damaged the family’s car outside before being arrested by Police.

A man in his 50s is in hospital with serious injuries following a collision on the M23 at South Nutfield.

It happened on Sunday night and resulted in the south-bound carriageway being closed between Junction 8 and 9 towards Gatwick until 3am the next day.

Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone who may have dash cam footage.

There have been five incidents in one night of a laser pen being shone at landing planes at Gatwick.

All of them happened yesterday and Police believe it could be someone in the Hartfield area.

Over 1200 laser incidents were reported at UK airports last year.
