A sword, spacecraft models and five airsoft guns were stolen in a burglary from a garage.

The garage, attached to a house in Syresham Garden, Haywards Heath, between 8.30am on Tuesday, December 9 and the 8.30am on Wednesday.

Sergeant Graeme Prentice said: "These items are all very unique as the weapons are used in paintball style games and had been modified by the owner.

"The sword, although blunt, is extremely heavy and has a demon face carved into the handle, it is thought to be the only one of this style in the UK.

"These items would stand out if anyone tried to sell them so we are asking if anyone has seen them for sale, or has recently bought them, they get in touch.

"If anyone saw anything suspicious in the area they are also asked to contact police on 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 347 of 10/12."
