PC David Lyons of Chichester District Neighbourhood Policing
Team said: "We believe that the suspects are local to the area
and are likely to be trying to sell the stolen property to friends
or family. Buying goods which you know are stolen is an offence. If
you unwittingly bought them then let us know.
"The local community hold a huge piece of this puzzle and any
information will help immensely with our investigation. A local
business has been left out of pocket and we urge anybody who can
help to come forward.
"As a direct result of information from the public, four local
boys aged 14, 15, 16 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of
burglary and bailed until 24 February."
Anyone who saw anything suspicious or who has information
which may assist police is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101
quoting serial 333 of 29/1 or the independent charity Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111.
