The victim received a call at 12.10pm in Badgers Way from a man who said he was a police officer from Hammersmith. He had arrested someone who was in possession of her bank card and there had been three transactions made on her account. When she checked her handbag and found her cards she became upset and suspicious. The caller said she needed to cancel her card he would phone her back. She phoned her sister and when they checked with her bank, they discovered no money had been withdrawn or transactions made. They then reported the call to Sussex police and discovered it was a scam. Detective Inspector Mark Cullimore said: "Fortunately this woman did not fall prey to this scam. Never give out your bank or card details to someone who has contacted you on your home phone unsolicited. The caller keeps the line open and will pretend to be from whoever you think you have just rung, so if you have any suspicions do not use the phone you have just been called on. Use a mobile or someone else's phone or wait at least 10 minutes before trying to call. Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may not be aware of this particular type of targeted fraud to prevent any vulnerable friends or family members from becoming victims."

Thankfully, the flat was fitted with a working smoke alarm which activated and alerted the woman to the developing fire giving her the time she needed to escape safely. On arrival firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property and extinguished the blaze using a hose reel and covering jet. The woman, suffering from mild smoke inhalation, was given oxygen therapy by the fire crew at the scene but did not need hospital treatment. Incident Commander from Arundel Fire Station, Richard Tout, said afterwards: "This is another example of where a working smoke alarm has potentially saved a life. The lady was asleep in bed and had the smoke alarm not alerted her, this fire could have had tragic consequences. Because the smoke alarm gave that vital early warning, the woman closed her internal doors, preventing the fire from spreading, and escaped safely. We would also like to remind people about the danger of leaving appliances like tumble dryers, washing machines or dishwashers running overnight or while out. They can be a potential fire risk because of their high wattage, friction and motors."

Time: 22:17 Incident: Two young men lost in the dark Solent Coastguards received a 999 call from two men in their early 20's who were not sure exactly where they were but knew they were somewhere on the E Head peninsula. It was a dark night with a cold NE wind and the tide was coming in, so with some urgency the two lifeboats were launched. The Atlantic 85 started a search along the E Head shoreline, and the D-Class went into the shallower water in Snowhill Creek. Shortly after this a second call was made to the Coastguards with the men saying they could see flashing blue lights so the lifeboat crew knew they were close to them. They were soon discovered in the tidal zone of Snowhill Creek and the D-Class took them on board. Having checked that they were OK and not needing medical help they were taken to E Head and handed over safe and sound into the care of the local Selsey Coastguard Unit. full report Fire & Rescue - Call Ref: 643 Time: 23:21-23:40 Location: PARK OFF OLD BARN WAY, SOUTHWICK Incident: FIRE moped destroyed by fire - buckets of water and backpack sprayer used by F&RS - deliberate ignition - WrL Hove return to previous window
