Halloween crime crackdown
Sussex Police and fire crews have set up patrols in hotspot areas to stamp out the increasing levels of problems caused at this time of year. Arun District Council is also urging residents to have fun responsibly and said there is no excuse for ghoulish behaviour.
'We will be patrolling Middleton, Felpham, Bersted and the Bognor town centre. These are the areas that traditionally have more incidents occurring at this time of year,' said Arun District Partnership and Performance Sergeant Danny West.
