A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Police were called to Salthill Road after a neighbour called to say they had heard noises and had seen a man leaving the property next door at about 10.40pm on September 13.

“When they arrived, a man seen matching the description was stopped and searched and was found to have jewellery, electronic devices, passports and other items in a rucksack. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary.”

Detective Constable Jon Berisford added: “Acting on a prompt 999 call from a concerned neighbour meant we could search for the suspect and quickly apprehend him and recover stolen property in the process.”
