A couple and their young daughter are barricading themselves in their home after being burgled 21 times in less than a year.

Michael Bandey and Rachel Newsome have lost nearly everything at the house in Lottbridge Drive, Eastbourne, which is attacked almost every other week.

Whatever the reason for the burglaries, it's clear this couple cannot stay in the house for much longer.

They need help in finding a new home elsewhere in Eastbourne and starting a new life away from the villains who have targeted them.

Even if they have to spend some time in temporary bed and breakfast housing, this will be better than living in an empty fortress.
