A new black Range Rover was stolen from Yew Tree Cottage last night. Contact the police now if you saw anything that might be relevant. And don’t leave your car keys on the kitchen table when you go to bed tonight.

Richard Corner (219) adds:

Did you see a black Range Rover, in convoy with a second car, between 10:00om on Thursday 25th and 6:00am on Friday 26th September? If so, please phone Sussex Police on the non-emergency number (101), reference 0251 of 26th September.

The car may be hidden in the countryside somewhere. It was FR11 STY, but the plates have probably been removed by now. If you see such a car, phone 101. If you happen to see anyone near it, then phone 999.

Nikki Frost adds:

[The burglars] entered the house through a small window taking phones, car, wallet and other bits while the whole family slept up stairs.

Sussex Police add:

A black Range Rover Sport worth more than £60,000 was stolen from the Poynings area north of Brighton between 10:30 pm on Thursday (25 September) and 7:10am the next day. The vehicle, registration FR11 STY, has distinctive, non-standard brown leather upholstery. One line of enquiry being followed by police is that it may have been stolen to order. The car’s owner is in the motor trade and other dealers have been notified of the theft.
