Opportunistic burglars in Eastbourne
Eastbourne neighbourhood officers are advising residents in the Roselands and St Anthony's area of Eastbourne to make sure their homes are secure at night following three recentburglaries.
Inspector Steve Tullet from Eastbourne Neighbourhood Police Team said: "These are opportunist burglaries where the suspects have been able to gain entry through unlocked doors and insecure windows. It is important that people ensure that their homes are secure before going to bed."
"If you hear or see any suspicious activity in your home at any time of the day or indeed, your neighbour's home, please call 999 immediately and if you have any information that could help police with their current inquiries please call 101 quoting serial 220 of 02/12 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
The most recent reported burglary was on Friday 2 December in Hunloke Avenue. The owners woke at around 7.20am to find they had been burgled whilst they were asleep. Entry had been gained via an unlocked door and stole a purse from a handbag. Prior to this in early October in Myrtle Road Eastbourne there was a burglary where the suspect gained entry via an insecure back door and stolen electrical. In early November there was a burglary in Latimer Road where entry was gained via an insecure front door and bank cards were stolen

Sussex Police launches Christmas drink-drive campaign
People across Sussex who choose to drive while impaired this Christmas season are being warned that the risks are too great.
Sussex Police launched its Christmas anti-drink/drug driving campaign in conjunction with Sussex Safer Roads Partnership on Monday 14th November.
From now until the beginning of January police across the county will be stepping up their usual activities to crack down on people who think that impaired driving is acceptable.
Chief Inspector Di Roskilly of Sussex Police Road Policing Unit said: "Like many other festive seasons previously we are concerned about the number of people who still choose to mix drinking or drug consumption with driving.
"It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure they are not impaired when they get behind the wheel, but this year we would also like to encourage other people to help us keep people safe and report those who still insist on driving.
"Mobile phone users can now report people they believe are drink or drug driving or those who are about to drink or drug drive by texting 65999. Some people may find this easier, especially as it can be done discreetly.
"Also this year we will be making applications to the courts for vehicles of persistent drink or drug drivers to be forfeited, along with our usual covert and overt operations and educational events alongside partners."
During the same campaign last year 6501 tests were carried out in a seven week period with 176 drivers arrested for being over the limit or refusing to provide a breath sample.
CI Roskilly said: "Drink and/or drug driving will not be tolerated in Sussex, not only is it against the law but it is known to result in death or injury to either yourself or others. Our role is to keep people safe on our roads.
"If you are planning on having a drink or taking drugs this festive season we ask that you ensure you know how you are getting home and don't get behind the wheel while impaired. Remember that you may still be over the limit the morning after."
Phil Henty, Operations Manager for the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership , said: "Anti-drink and drug driving messages will be promoted throughout communities across Sussex once again this Christmas. However, we also remind motorists to stop and think before they get into their vehicles the night after a party.
"Alcohol can take time to get out of a motorist's system, so if the celebrations lasted into the early hours, drivers should be aware that they can still be over the limit even after a few hours' sleep.
"Driving while hung-over can also be dangerous. Although levels of alcohol may have dropped below the legal limits, tiredness, headaches, dehydration, low sugar levels or the general after effects of drinking can put drivers at risk behind the wheel."
The Sussex campaign coincides with the national Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) anti-drink drive campaign and the Tispol European campaign.
If you would like to make a report to Sussex Police ring 999 if the activity is currently taking place or 101 if it's not an emergency. You can also make reports through the Operation Crackdown website www.operationcrackdown.org or text 65999.
Mobile phone users who text 65999 to make a report are asked to include as much information as possible. Details about where the driver is leaving from, where they are going, the make of vehicle, a registration number and their name will all assist police to trace the driver.

Eastbourne man sentenced to 15 years for GBH
Daniel Portela, 32, of Ceylon Place, Eastbourne was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court this morning (Monday 14 November) to 15 years imprisonment following his conviction for grievous bodily harm at the same court on Monday 17 October.
Portela was found guilty following a week long trial for the serious assault on a 32-year-old man in Bourne Street, Eastbourne on Tuesday 22 March, which left the victim with a serious brain injury.
Detective Constable Julian Stokes from East Sussex CID said: "I am pleased with the sentence that Portela received today (14 Nov) for what was a horrific, sustained and unprovoked attack on an innocent man, whose life will never be the same again.
"Portela's victim was found unconscious outside the Coda bar in Bourne Street, Eastbourne in the early hours of 22 March. It was apparent that he had been badly beaten and sadly due to his injuries he will never be able to live independently again."
Following today's sentencing the victim's family "We are pleased that justice has been done today and that Daniel Portela has been punished for his despicable act against our son.
"Sadly we had lost touch with our son and were unable to find him prior to the attack. It was heart breaking to see him after all these years lying in a hospital bed with such awful injuries."

Eastbourne residents warned to be vigilant following recent spate of burglaries
Eastbourne Neighbourhood Police Team are advising local residents in the Upperton and Old Town areas of Eastbourne to be vigilant due to a recent rise in house burglaries.
"It can also help if owners tell neighbours, who they trust, when they are going to be away so they can keep an eye on their property. A good way to make sure your home does not look vacant is by having light switches and radios on timers, cancel things like milk and newspapers and don't advertise your up and coming holiday on Facebook."

4-year-old boy assaulted by boys in Eastbourne
A witness is being sought to the assault of a 4-year-old boy by two boys in a play area near the Shinewater Community Centre, Milfoil Drive, Eastbourne, at around 2.30pm on Sunday 25 September.
The 4-year-old victim was in the play area with his 8-year-old sister and with his 11-year-old brother near-by when he was approached by four boys, believed to be aged around 11 to 12. Two of the boys pushed him to the ground, punched him, then swung him around by his feet and hands before eventually letting go, causing him to hit the climbing frame. He suffered a swollen forehead.
An unknown man shouted at the boys, but was unable to enter the play area, as the boys had pushed their scooters and bicycles up against the gate. He spoke to the victim and his 8-year-old sister, before alerting their mother.
PC James Mackintosh said: "This was a vicious and disturbing assault on an innocent young boy, which has been very distressing for the victim and his family. The boy has an existing medical condition, which could have resulted in far more serious injuries.
"A full investigation is underway and officers are speaking to local residents as part of the ongoing investigation. I am appealing to witnesses to this assault, in particular a man who intervened and informed the victim's parents."
The four boys were seen to walk off in the direction of Co-Op in Milfoil Drive.
Officers are due to speak to two suspects in connection with this investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 quoting serial 964 of 25/9 or anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Language students assaulted in Eastbourne
Detectives have released a CCTV image of two suspects believed to be involved in the robbery of two German students in Eastbourne on Monday 22 August at around 11.20pm.
The victims, both aged 14, were walking down an alleyway which leads to a footbridge over the railway line and towards Lottbridge Drive when they caught up with the two offenders who were walking slowly in front of them. The suspects, who had scarves covering their faces and were carrying a knife and a baseball bat, threatened the teenagers and robbed them of their phones, cameras and sunglasses before running back along the alleyway onto Brodrick Road and up into Hazlewood Avenue.
If you recognise either of the suspects or know where they live please call Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 quoting Operation Columbus or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Update from the Police District Commander
Good Afternoon,
Sussex Police would like to thank partner organisations, businesses and the public for their cooperation and help in maintaining a virtually trouble free night in Sussex.
Although we sent support yesterday (August 9) to our colleagues in the Met, it was equally important for us to make sure that the people of Sussex knew we were putting local needs first when considering this support.
Throughout yesterday and overnight the county was carefully monitored and we were prepared for any disorder relating to the national unrest as well as serving Sussex as normal.
In Hastings police acted quickly when they received information that two men were alleged to have been trying to arrange disorder via Facebook. A small group was then seen to gather outside McDonalds in Wellington Place at around 8pm. Two men aged 20 and 22, from St. Leonards-on-Sea, were arrested on suspicion of public order offences. They remain in police custody. No further incidents were reported in the county.
It was important that we acted swiftly and accurately to any rumours and concerns, particularly those that continued to come via social media sites. It is very heartening to see so many positive and appreciative messages coming back to us from communities across Sussex, particularly on Twitter, and shows that such information sources can be used as a power for the good.
We will continue to keep our twitter account @sussex_police and our website up to date with the latest information -
If you hear of any tensions or wish to report suspicious activity, please contact us immediately by dialling 999. My officers and staff will be out again today patrolling in our neighbourhoods and communities offering reassurance.
Thank you again for your support,
Jayne
Jayne Dando
Chief Inspector, District Commander Eastbourne

Street scene clean up – Priority eyesores within the Borough
After last years successful operation the Borough Council would once again like to help clean up any particularly bad eyesores in your neighbourhood. We are asking Neighbourhood Panels to identify an area in their neighbourhood that is in poor condition and in need of tidying up.
When areas have been nominated they will be collated and our aim is to clean an area from each Neighbourhood Panel by the end of the year.
The intention is to use current Council resources and supervise volunteers from “Tomorrow’s People” to clear/clean the grot spots commencing the first week in September. We would welcome volunteers from your neighbourhood if they wish to help.
Types of work to be carried out can be:
• Clearance of unmaintained alleys/passages
• Overgrown vegetation
• Removal/painting over graffiti
• Litter picking and general clearance of waste ground that is unadopted landand has no ownership
Have you got a particularly bad eyesore in your neighbourhood that could be tidied up, if so let us know?
Please submit your area’s “top grot spot” by Friday 5 August 2011.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely

Operation Sunshine
Sussex Police has re-launched Operation Sunshine to provide simple crime prevention reminders to make homes more secure during the summer months.
Summer is a time of warm days when windows, doors and garages are often left open, and tools and valuables may be left lying around outside.
The most common cases of opportunist summer burglary involve offenders that:
- enter an insecure front door while residents are in the back garden
- enter doors that are closed but unlocked at night while residents are asleep
- reach through windows to take valuable items
Summer burglary prevention tips:
- If you are out in the back garden, ensure that your front door is secure.
- Put your garden tools and games away into a secure garage or tools shed after using them, they could be used to break into your home, or your neighbours'.
- When you leave a room unattended, close the windows and doors - especially on the ground floor.
- If you want to leave windows open while you sleep, fit window restrictors so they cannot be fully opened, or make sure they are not large enough to allow access to a burglar.
- Keep all wallets, purses, credit cards, car keys and other valuables out of sight.
- Consider fitting outside security lighting or a visible alarm to help deter burglars. Even using pea shingle or gravel on a driveway and spiky plants in garden beds can help.
Remember car security too...
If you park your car out in the countryside, take your bag or wallet with you and don't leave other belongings on view in your car. Even an old coat left in sight could tempt someone to break in.

Be Aware of Scam Calls
Some Eastbourne residents have received phone calls from a person saying they are from our Council Tax Team and that they are entitled to a refund.
The caller tells them they have overpaid their council tax or that their property has been rebanded. Unlike our genuine Council Tax Team the caller says they can arrange an immediate refund if the resident provides their debit or credit card details.
This call is a scam. Never give your card details out over the phone to someone for a refund of Council Tax.

Bogus Callers Warning
Businesses, schools, local councils and GP surgeries are being warned to be on their guard if offered work by people claiming to be from East Sussex County Council’s Highways Department.
The Council’s Trading Standards Service is pushing out the warning ahead of the summer months after incidents last year when people claimed to part of the Councils Highways Department - or working in association with them.
Around this time last year, the bogus workmen were offering line marking of car parks, on the basis that spare paint was left over from jobs being done nearby. Work was offered at a discounted rate, claiming that charges would be in line with what it would cost them to dispose of the paint.

Three year ASBO for street drinker
Carl John Anderson, 32, of no fixed abode appeared at Eastbourne Magistrates' Court on Monday, 28 February and was made the subject of a three year Post Conviction ASBO and a three year Prohibition on the Sale of Alcohol to Habitual Drunkards Order (1898).
PC Virginia Jupp, ASBO Co-ordinator for Eastbourne said: "Anderson has been a problem for the local Eastbourne community for many years and I am pleased that Sussex Police has been successful in getting the courts to give him a three year ASBO."
Anderson's ASBO conditions are as follows:
Acting or inciting others to act in an anti-social manner that is to say a manner that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household.
Being drunk and disorderly in any public place and or a place to which the public has access in England and Wales.
Consuming alcohol in any public place other than licensed premises.
Being in possession of any unsealed vessel containing alcohol in any public place.
The Prohibition on the Sale of Alcohol to Habitual Drunkards Order makes it an offence if Anderson buys, obtains, or attempts to buy or obtain, alcohol in any licensed premises within Eastbourne District.
PC Jupp continued: "These orders were deemed necessary by the court to prevent further incidents of drunken disorderly and offensive behaviour by Anderson and further, to actively prevent him from obtaining the alcohol which fuelled his anti-social behaviour."
Chief Inspector Jayne Dando said: "I am pleased that all the hard work done by PC Jupp and our licensing officer, Cathie Wolfe has paid off. By having Anderson declared a habitual drunkard, it will be harder for him to get alcohol and we feel it will give us some extra powers to deal with both his behaviour and the premises who are selling him alcohol. This legislation dates back to 1898, but is as relevant today. We understand the impact that such behaviour has on our communities and we are determined to put a stop to it."

JUST DO SOMETHING
Sussex Chief Constable urges his Force and
invites the Churches to a Partnership
Towards the end of November, on the first frosty morning of the winter, you could have seen up to a hundred people, roughly half in police uniform and half in clerical collars, two men for every woman, making their way to Slaugham Manor for a Conference on Church-Police Relationships.
Both parties were well aware that over the last few years an increasing number of such partnerships have been developing, not only in Sussex, between churches and police. All are local, though several have wider backing, no two are alike, and contact between groups is minimal. The objective was neither to smooth out differences nor to standardise and control, but rather to increase diversity and encourage others to join in the game by doing their own thing.
The Conference had three items on its agenda.
- To bring together exceptional partnerships (developed
or developing) between Sussex Police and Sussex
Churches and discover what is going on. - To share experiences of how they differ and work.
- To demonstrate the difference they make to the
churches, the police and the local community.

Sussex Police Welcome Street Crime Mapping
People across Sussex will now be able to see what crime and antisocial behaviour (ASB) is happening on their streets, thanks to new information published today via www.police.uk. By typing in a postcode, people can immediately see what crime and ASB has happened in their area and are given ways to contact their local policing team. They can also see what their team is doing to make their area safer.
Chief Constable Martin Richards said: "Sussex Police has today joined-up with all other police forces in England and Wales to launch a new tool that will help communities to better understand what's happening on their streets.
"By making this information available, we aim to raise awareness of what we're doing to tackle crime and disorder and how local people can support their local police.
"This new technology will allow us to provide more relevant information to the community. In addition to information about crime and antisocial behaviour, we hope to have updates on the activities and actions of Neighbourhood Policing officers and news stories from their areas."
