Appeal after repeated criminal damage at Crawley address

Officers are investigating incidents where repeated damage was caused to a property in Irving Walk, Crawley.

On September 14, 2024, it was reported that a brick was thrown at a window, damaging the frame.

A further report to police was made on October 26, 2024, when a machete was used to smash the porch glass just after 4am.

During police enquiries, CCTV was identified of two suspects, however their faces were covered during the offence.

On Wednesday, February 5, a third incident occurred at 2.30am when a man was seen picking up a stone from outside a nearby address, and throwing it at a downstairs window, causing it to smash.

CCTV captured the incident and showed a single suspect was seen wearing a distinctive long black puffer jacket with navy joggers, white socks and black sliders.

We are working to identify those responsible, and if you recognise the outfits worn or have any information, we ask you make a report to police.

Superintendent Imran Asghar said,

“These incidents are distressing and entirely unacceptable acts of criminal damage.

"Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home, and we are committed to identifying the perpetrators and seeking justice for the victim, whose property has been repeatedly targeted.

"We urge anyone who recognises the clothing seen in the footage or who has any information to come forward, as your details could be vital in helping us identify those responsible."

Reports can be made online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 605 of 26/10.
