Sussex Police have said they are increasing patrols around Burgess Hill’s town centre following reports of anti-social behaviour.

Sergeant Paul Voigt, of Crawley and Mid-Sussex’s Neighbourhood Policing Team, told the Middy he is aware of ‘a number of recent reports involving young people’ in the area.

“We understand the impact anti-social behaviour has on our communities,” he said. “In response we have increased patrols around the town centre to provide a reassuring presence and visible deterrent.

“Investigations are ongoing to identify potential suspects, some of whom are known to Sussex Police and its partner agencies. We will continue to work with our partners in the community to prevent further crime through deterrence and by addressing the root causes of this behaviour, while catching perpetrators and delivering an appropriate response.”
