Thieves have raided beach huts in a night-time break-in.

Workmen working on sea defences work close to Herbrand Walk in Bexhill reported damage to beach huts to Sussex Police who are now appealing for witnesses.

The break-ins are believed to have taken place overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday although it is currently not known if anything was stolen.

A workman told police he had seen a dark-skinned man in his 30s, wearing dark clothing, acting suspiciously and officers are keen to identify this person.

Anyone with information is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or phone 101, quoting serial 550 of 22/10.
