SUSSEX POLICE report - Ref: PR46373 / 2014 Location: Bridgewater Close, Billingshurst Incident: Billingshurst Woman dies of suspected heroin overdose At half-past midnight, in response to a call from ambulance personnel, police attended a flat in Bridgewater Close, Billingshurst. There they found a 33-year-old woman being treated by paramedics for a suspected heroin overdose. Sadly she did not respond and was pronounced dead at 1.30am. A 21-year-old man who was present in the flat, and who had also used heroin, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug. He was treated at the East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, before being taken into custody pending interview. A post mortem examination of the body will be held. The coroner has been informed, Detective Inspector Dave Wardley Wilkins, of the Sussex Police priority crime team, said- "This is one of three deaths in West Sussex in as many days, all of which are believed to have involved drugs. There is no reason to link them at this stage, but it is clearly something we are mindful of as we await the results of post mortem examinations and forensic tests in each case." Anyone who has any information on the supply or selling of illegal drugs is urged phone Sussex Police on 101 or email sussex.pnn.police.uk Alternatively, call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service was called to the two-storey block of flats on Manor Way in Elmer at 12.53am this morning after the occupier of the ground floor flat, a man in his 50s who had been drinking, fell asleep leaving a pan burning on the hob. Fortunately, the flat was fitted with an working smoke detector, which alerted the occupier of a neighbouring flat to the developing fire. The quick-acting neighbour forced entry to the ground floor flat and rescued the sleeping occupier before raising the alarm. Both men were later taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. A crew from Bognor Fire Station was on the scene within minutes of the alarm being raised and saw smoke and flames pouring from the flat's windows and door, which had blown out from the intensity of the fire. Three additional fire crews were immediately requested while the initial firefighting operations got underway. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus carried out a search of the whole block of flats but thankfully all the occupiers had already safely evacuated. The blaze was then quickly brought under control and extinguished using jets and hoses. The flat sustained considerable fire, smoke and heat damage. Two neighbouring flats were also damaged by fire and smoke. Incident Commander and Green Watch Manager from Bognor Fire Station, Jon Etherington, said afterwards: "This man had a very lucky escape. Had it not been for the neighbour's brave actions, this may very well have ended in tragedy. While we would remind people not to put themselves in harm's way by entering a property they believe is on fire, we would urge people to act if they hear a smoke alarm going off for any length of time in a neighbouring property. Don't ignore it, call 999, you may just save a life. This is not an isolated incident. Cooking is by far the most common cause of house fire we attend. We would ask people to think twice about getting the pan out if they are very tired or have been drinking; it really is a recipe for disaster. Don't take the risk of putting the hob or grill on; just make something that doesn't need to be cooked instead. We're very thankful that the man's home was fitted with a working smoke alarm, although he wasn't roused by it, his neighbour was and that made a life-saving difference. If you have an older or vulnerable relative or neighbour who hasn't got a working smoke alarm, then please encourage them to get in touch with us for a free Home Fire Safety Check."

Officers from the roads policing unit and the Highways Agency will be accompanying the vehicle from the A23 south to the A27 and then east onto the A22 and A259 to its destination just off King Offa Way in Bexhill. Minor roads connecting to the A27 and the A259 between these points will be temporarily closed as the vehicle passes them. The vehicle will begin its journey on the A23 at 5.30am and will take several hours to get to Bexhill. Previous experience suggests the journey will be completed well before midday and that the impact on traffic in the area will be minimal. Saturday morning has been chosen because at that time the roads will be at their quietest and the minimum disruption should be caused although drivers should prepare for their journeys to take longer than usual at that time.

SUSSEX POLICE report - Ref: PR46490 / 2014 Appeal for taxi driver who took attack suspect from Brighton to Worthing Police are trying to trace a taxi driver who they believe picked up a man involved in a fight that left a 22-year-old critically injured. The victim suffered a serious injury to his neck during a fight between a group of people in Castle Square, Brighton, in the early hours of Sunday, 10 August, morning. The violence involved people who had been involved in a number of arguments in the area on Sunday morning before the victim suffered his injury opposite a taxi rank. The suspect is a black man aged 22 to 26 who was wearing a dark hooded top and jeans at the time. He got into a Brighton and Hove green and white taxi after the attack. Detective Sergeant Julie Greenwood said: "From our inquiries we believe the man travelled to Durrington or Lower Salvington in Worthing between 5am and 6am. We need to speak to the taxi driver who took him there. He may have vital information that could help us track the suspect down. If you were working in the early hours of Sunday and took a fare to Worthing, please contact us." Officers are also keen to speak to anyone who was in Castle Square when the attack happened and who saw the incident or what happened in the minutes before or after it.

A 22-year-old man was left fighting for his life after he was assaulted in Castle Square shortly before 5am on Sunday, 10 August. The suspect is a black man aged 22 to 26 who was wearing a dark hooded top and jeans at the time. He ran off through Pavilion Gardens. Shortly afterwards he got into a Brighton and Hove green and white taxi and was taken to Worthing. Officers have now learned that at some stage between 4am and 5am that morning the suspect was sat watching and listening to a man busking with a guitar in East Street. The busker was performing songs requested by passers-by and was visited by two smartly dressed men who watched him play and recorded it on their mobile phones, as the suspect sat alongside the guitarist. Police are very keen to speak to those two men and to watch the footage they recorded. One was of mixed race, 25 to 30 and muscular. He was wearing a polo shirt. The second was white and 25 to 35. He was wearing a blue polo shirt, possibly by Ralph Lauren. Detective Constable Ed Downes said: "Thanks to the public appeal through the media, we have traced both the man with the guitar and the taxi driver who we were looking for. The two people watching the busker could also be key witnesses and we are keen to speak to them as soon as possible. If you know who they are or where they could, please contact us."

The men, who were all masked, struck a few minutes before 3pm, forcing a member of staff to open the safe and stealing several thousand pounds and euros. They ran from the shop into a waiting red Alfa Romeo Brera that drove off towards Hailsham. The car is believed to have been stolen during a burglary of a house in Cowbeech Road, Rushlake Green a short time earlier. The car had been seen at the property as recently as 1.30pm. Detective Inspector Mark O'Brien said: "The car hasn't yet been found and we are very interested to hear from anyone who may have seen it at any time from after 1.30pm in Rushlake Green or seen in the locality of the Post Office in Horsebridge. It was seen to head off towards Hailsham, but in reality may have ended up going in any direction, it may have been driven fast or erratically and you may have noticed that. It is also likely that the vehicle has now been abandoned by the criminals. So if you saw a red Alfa Romeo or the occupants, we'd like to hear from you."

More than 850 items have been recovered by Sussex Police specialist search unit from a pond in Whitebeam Wood, Durrington, after the haul was discovered by a woman walking her dog on 23 July. If they have been stolen, they can be returned to their owners and officers may get more evidence that could help catch and prosecute those responsible for taking them. Thanks to work by detectives and calls from members of the public, officers have been able to link items from the pond to six burglaries committed in West Sussex over the last 14 months and return the possessions to their owners. Four men aged 26, 24, 20 and 18 and a 17-year-old boy have been arrested and questioned over the burglaries and released on bail until 2 October. Detective Constable Emma Fields said: "We believe most of the items in the pond were stolen in the last 18 months or so before being dumped there, possibly because the burglars could not sell them. Most of the victims who we have been able to return items to have been retired and the jewellery such as watches, necklaces and rings that we have been able to give them back had great sentimental value. In some cases they were 21st birthday presents, items they were given by their parents or family heirlooms. We are still very keen to reunite the remaining property with its owners so I would urge anyone who has been burgled over the last 18 months or so to visit the website to see if they can spot their items."
