Items including jewellery, power tools, and antiques have been stolen.

Robert Cousens, 21, of Olivers Meadow, Westergate, appeared at Chichester Magistrates Court today after he was charged with careless driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident. He pleaded guilty to both offences. The court heard that police were called just before 10pm on Saturday 10 March to a car cruise event at Portfield Retail Park in Chichester, following a report that a 19-year-old man, who was a spectator, had sustained a badly broken leg. Investigations identified that Cousens was the driver responsible- he was driving a white BMW and conducting a 'burn out' manoeuver when he lost control and collided with the victim. Although he initially stopped to help, he left the scene before police arrived. PC Pete May, from the Road Policing Unit, said: "Cousens was part of a local car club branding themselves 'Cannibeanz', which regularly uploads footage onto the internet. We were able to obtain some of this footage and use it in evidence, as it clearly showed their anti-social driving on the roads of Sussex in great detail." At the time of the incident, the victim was taken to St Richards Hospital where he underwent a skin graft and numerous operations. He will be left with scars and injuries that he may never recover from.

It is alleged that the men forced their way into the property at around 4.45pm and stabbed a 22-year-old man in the hand before leaving with what later turned out to be cannabis plants. Detective Sergeant John Kalli for West Sussex CID said- "Quick intelligence work and swift action by local road traffic officers identified the car that the suspects were travelling in. Officers then followed the car before it eventually rolled over and came to a stop on the A29 Ockley. "Neither of the three men were injured and despite attempting to again evade officers they were arrested and taken to custody where they remain for questioning." The man who was stabbed in the hand was taken to hospital for treatment, discharged and arrested for production of cannabis. He has been bailed until 25 April pending further enquiries. POLICE UPDATE - Ref: PR42010 / 2013 The 3 men arrested on Friday 29 March following an aggravated burglary in Collyer Avenue, Bognor Regis which culminated in a police pursuit have all been charged.
