A man has been arrested in connection with stealing a ring from an elderly resident.

Sussex Police were called to Eastern Avenue, Polegate, to the home of a woman in her late 80s when she noticed the jewellery was missing.

This was after a man called at the property at about 5pm on Friday and said he was interested in valuable items.

Officers arrested a 27-year old man from Chiddingly, near Horsham, and he has since been released on bail until April 12 while enquiries continue.

The ring has not been recovered.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
