TODAY'S front page headline will worry many readers.

It is difficult to believe that our seaside home could be somewhere where vulnerable young people are being radicalised.

But that is the reality.

With the internet and social media, those intent of radicalising youngsters can get into their homes from hundreds if not thousands of miles away.

It has long been suspected that radicalisation is a particular problem in Brighton and Hove.

In 2014 there was the deaths of the two Deghayes brothers, Abdullah, 18, and Jaffar, 17, who travelled from the city to fight in Syria.

Their brother Amer, 22, is still thought to be in the country fighting with an Al-Qaeda affiliated group.

Their friend Ibrahim Kamara, 17, was also killed fighting in Syria.

In response a council-led serious case review was launched into radicalisation in the city.

A leak, reported in a Sunday newspaper, stated that there had been 28 youngsters who plotted to go to Syria and join IS or related groups.

The review also mentioned fears that aspiring jihadists would carry out a Lee Rigby style terror attack on the city's streets.

In the days following the report Sussex Police looked to calm fears and stated that the problem was no different than anywhere else in the country.

But Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp's comments in today's paper suggest otherwise.

However, we should be encouraged that the force is taking action.

He admits authorities got off to a bad start with a number of teenagers travelling to Syria.

However, measures and partnerships appear to have been put in place.

And if what Chief Superintendent says is true, the force appears to be getting to grips with the issue.

But they can't let their guards down.
