TWO PEOPLE arrested at a primary school have been released without charge.
A 20-year-old man and 16-year-old boy, both from Hove, were arrested on Wednesday after reports of a motocross vehicle being stolen.

Sussex Police said they responded to the reported threat of violence and acted on the vehicle description and individual named.
