Incident: Tragic end to a long search A young Asian man, together with two friends were enjoying the fine weather on 2 September and went into the sea at W Wittering, but sadly one of them, suspected of being a non-swimmer, went missing and the Hayling Island RNLI Lifeboats were called out to search for him. The crew searched over a wide area for over 3 hours on Monday night, and the Coastguard Helicopter was also called out. The crews re-assembled on Tuesday morning at first light and continued the search which by now had covered the shore from Hayling to Selsey and within Chichester Harbour from East Head up the Itchenor Reach, but sadly no-one was found. Tragically a body was discovered on Wednesday 4 September, by a kayaker. The body was on the sandbanks at the West end of the W Wittering beach and the Hayling D-Class Lifeboat was launched to assist and to bring the casualty ashore where he was handed over to the Hampshire Police. full report Fire & Rescue - Call Ref: 7550 Time: 19:50-19:58 Location: RECREATION GROUND, NORTH OF UPPER BRIGHTON RD, WORTHING Incident: FIRE fire in area of woodland - extinguished by WSFRS using water backpack - deliberate ignition - WrL Worthing return to previous window

POLICE report - Ref: PR43343 / 2013 Time: 9.55am Location: Rectory Lane, Ashington Incident: Officers rescue man from under car Police officers who were first on the scene where a man had become trapped under a car, jacked up the vehicle to release him. The man, in his 40s, was taken to Worthing Hospital for a precautionary check-up after being trapped under the old American car that he was working on in Ashington. It is believed that the car, weighing nearly 2 tons, rolled off a jack in Rectory Lane around 9.55am, trapping the man and constricting his breathing. He was able to use his mobile phone to call for help and officers from a road policing unit and neighbourhood policing response team were quickly on scene to release him. Road policing officer PC Peter De Silvo was one of the first on the scene. He said: "One of my colleagues had hopped over a gate and found the man as I arrived. He was completely covered by the vehicle and the weight of it meant that he was struggling to breathe, but he was still able to talk to us and tell us where the jack was. We replaced it and jacked the car back up, but it was still sinking on the jack so we pulled him out and kept him calm until an ambulance arrived. He's a really lucky man. If he hadn't been able to get at his mobile phone, he could have laid there unnoticed for ages as there was no part of him that was showing from underneath the car. We were just glad that he was talking to us and it looks as though his injuries aren't too serious."

At about 4am a group of people were spotted on the roof of the Santander branch in Ash Lane, Rustington. A hole had been created in the roof and a number of people had entered the bank with an angle grinder and attempted to cut open a cash machine inside the branch. The alarm was set off and security smoke was released inside the building. When members of the public disturbed the intruders by shouting at them the group fled from the bank empty handed and got into two cars waiting nearby. The cars drove off westbound along The Street. One of the vehicles was a white hatchback and the other was a dark hatchback. The thieves were wearing dark clothing and balaclavas. Those who went inside the bank would have needed to be small to fit through the hole.

SUSSEX POLICE report - Ref: PR46242 / 2014 report date- 21 July 2014 Tangmere teenager jailed for causing death by dangerous driving A teenager has been jailed for four years after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. Harry Smith, aged 18, of Haleybridge Walk, Tangmere, appeared at Chichester Crown Court for sentencing after he last month admitted causing death by dangerous driving and two charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in a fatal collision on the A285 at Halnaker in September 2013. Judge Christopher Parker QC also disqualified Smith from driving for four years and ordered him to take an extended re-test before holding a licence again. The court heard that Smith was driving a Vauxhall Corsa car travelling south, when it came off the road and overturned. Passenger Jasmine Elkasmi, 16, of Carlton Avenue, Bognor, died of her injuries. Two other 16-year-old girl passengers who were in the car were seriously injured, one being left paralysed from the waist down and other suffering facial and dental injuries. Neither can be named for legal reasons. Afrer the hearing, Sergeant Paul Wood, of the Arundel road policing unit, said: "Smith was 17 at the time of the collision and he had only held his driving licence for about seven weeks. He had been stopped by police before the collision on a number of occasions due to the manner of his driving and he had been issued with a section 59 warning, which meant that if he had been stopped again, his vehicle would have been seized. A girl died as a result of his dangerous driving and two other girls were left with serious injuries, one of them life-changing."
