POLICE are offering a £500 reward for information as their search for a wanted woman continues.

Toni Deerans is wanted in connection with a string of burglaries in the Brighton area and a robbery.

Sussex Police launched an appeal for information on her whereabouts last Wednesday.

But, as the search ramps up, the force has now said it will give a £500 reward to anyone with information which helps to locate her.

Detective constable James Botting said: “We hope this reward incentivises anyone with information on Deerans’ whereabouts.

“We believe she remains in the Brighton area but is maintaining a low profile.

“Please be assured that any information you provide will be treated in confidence.”

Anyone with information is asked to report online or call 101, quoting serial 239 of 28/01.

Alternatively, people can report anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
