VANDALS have broken into a church, stealing money and desecrating antiques.
Police are appealing for witnesses after St Andrew and St Nicolas Church in South Street, Portslade, was raided this month.
The incident is believed to have happened between 5pm on October 13 and 10am on October 17.
"Brass candle sticks and other church items were found thrown onto the vestry floor and a small amount of money was taken from the premises," a spokesman for the force said.
"The main front door of the church appeared to have been tampered with and the back door was broken into."
The church has recently reached its 850th anniversary.
Officers are appealing to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious to report online or call 101, quoting 431 of 17/10.
