ARRESTS have been made after damage and injuries caused by 'the firing of ball bearings'
The arrests were made last night after a spate of criminal damage in Crawley and Horsham – consistent with the firing of ball bearings – was caused to a number of vehicles and buildings in the area.
At least two people have been treated for minor injuries, again believed to be from ball bearings.
Officers carried out a search of the area, assisted by the National Police Air Service helicopter, and have arrested two suspects in Crawley.
Two men from Crawley, aged 39 and 19, have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and remain in custody at this stage.
Police are urging anyone with CCTV which may have captured any offences to come forward.
Or if you have any information about any of the incidents, you can report it online or call 101, quoting serial 1372.
About 15 reports have been received to date.
Sussex Police said these are not believed to be targeted attacks, however enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.
