Four teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of damaging more than 50 vehicles and police also seized catapults which are currently undergoing examination. 

Windows on the vehicles in Pulborough, West Chiltington and Billingshurst were smashed with rocks or stones in the early hours of Monday (4 May) and Tuesday (5 May).

An 18-year-old man from Cowfold, an 18-year-old man from West Chiltington, a 17-year-old boy from West Chiltington and a 14-year-old boy from Dial Post have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

All four were questioned before being released on bail until 2 July.

Officers also seized a quantity of catapults that are currently being examined.

Police are still keen to speak to anyone who saw or heard any of the damage being done.

Extra patrols have been sent into the area to speak to residents and try to find anyone who saw anyone behaving suspiciously late at night.

Inspector Clare McKnight said: "Although we have made these arrests we still need to speak to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious at all in the early hours of Monday or Tuesday.

"No matter how insignificant you might think the information is, it could be vital to our investigation so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

"Each of the victims has been left with the inconvenience and cost of having their vehicles repaired and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice."
