A BOY had to be rescued from the roof of a cottage following a dispute.

A fire crew had to assist police in rescuing the 14-year-old from the roof of Downsview Cottages in Lewes Road, Cooksbridge, last night.

The boy was safely returned to ground level just before 8.30pm having been on the roof for about an hour.

He was arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace but was later released without charge.
