BAGS of building materials worth around £1,000 have been stolen from a garden.

Two men went into the garden of a house which is being built in Southview Road, Southwick.

Police said they took three bags full of building materials, the majority being pipes, and loaded them into the back of a removal van then made off along Roman Way.

Both men are white, slim to medium build and have dark hair.

They were both wearing dark clothing, trainers and yellow high-visibility vests.

The theft happened at 7am on Tuesday, April 26, but police have now issued an appeal for witnesses.

Anyone who knows who the men are or have any information about the incident is urged to contact police online, or via 101, quoting serial 293 of 26/04.
