“I am extremely concerned about the attack this Sunday. I am glad that Sussex Police acted quickly to arrest a suspect.

“I am already in contact with Katy Bourne, the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, about how best to tackle the growing problem of anti-social behaviour in Arun as well as the threat posed by county lines drug crime.”
