Criminals are paying for new crime prevention measures in Mid Sussex following a recent prosecution by Mid Sussex District Council.
In August 2015 Imran Shahid and Tariq Wasi pleaded guilty to converting greenfield land in Copthorne to an illegal airport car park. The men failed to obtain planning permission and ignored a Stop Notice from the Council to cease trading and so continued to profit from the activity. Mid Sussex District Council obtained a Confiscation Order under the Proceeds of Crime Act. A Crown Court Judge ordered that the full amount be confiscated.
The Council has now received over eight and a half thousand pounds from the Home Office as its share of the proceeds under the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme.
The money is being used to fund projects which reduce crime or the fear of crime in Mid Sussex.
Three burglaries have occurred in East Grinstead on the same afternoon. The burglaries happened on Monday between midday and 5 pm in Southlands, Hurst Farm Lane and Browns Wood. Expensive items of jewellery and cash were stolen.
Sussex Police has increased police patrols throughout the area to deter further break-ins, but residents are asked to ensure that windows and doors are shut and locked.
If you saw anyone acting suspiciously, including cold callers, or suspicious vehicles or have any CCTV which covered these areas at this time, please contact Sussex Police via 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting serial 403 of 11/10.
