They were called to Madeira Avenue at around 4pm following reports of a 20-year-old woman spotted in the water. The officers arrived on the scene and despite the coastguard being notified, chose to enter the water for fear the woman could be swept further out by strong tides. PC Duncan Slaney said- "When we got there I could see that her head was going under the water and knew something had to be done. We couldn't reach her initially, but luckily she got close enough to the shore for us to be able to get a lifeline to her and then get her out of the water." PC Robert Annett added- "The water was absolutely freezing but she had been in the water for almost 10 minutes by the time we got there. We had to do something to help." Inspector John Merrick said- "It is apparent that the selfless and swift actions of the officers saved the woman from being swept out to sea or being completely overcome by the cold. The actions of all 3 officers are commendable." SUSSEX POLICE report - Ref: PR51050 / 2016 Time: 5.50pm Location: Horsham Park Incident: Student robbed in Horsham Police are appealing for witnesses after a foreign exchange student was assaulted and robbed of his bag in Horsham.

SUSSEX POLICE report - Ref: PR51054 / 2016 Nail bar owner found guilty of attempted murder A man has been found guilty of trying to kill his wife and son by setting fire to their nail bar business in Hailsham last year. Ducbac Vuong, 52, known as Sammi, was found guilty of two counts of attempted murder at Hollywood Nails in High Street, Hailsham, on March 4 last year. A jury at Lewes Crown Court heard that emergency services were called to the business at 5.17pm to reports of a fire and a man, woman and baby suffering severe burns. The fire had damaged the nail bar itself, the staff area and the upstairs flat. On Monday 18 January he was found guilty of two charges of attempted murder. It is believed that Vuong attempted to try and kill his wife, Tram, known as Naomi, who was 21, and their son, who was five months at the time, and seriously injure himself by starting the fire with acetone liquid. The liquid was poured and ignited by Vuong, blocking all the access points from the nail bar and upstairs accommodation, where the family lived. All three were badly injured with burns and were taken to hospital to be treated. Vuong suffered 47 per cent burns to his legs, chest and hands and was hospitalised for four months and originally given only a 50 per cent chance of surviving. Naomi and the child also suffered severe burns and have undergone months of treatment. Vuong has always denied the offences and claimed he had no idea how the fire started. However CCTV showed him shutting the door to the nail bar after his wife tried to raise the alarm and giving a thumbs up to passers-by who had tried to help. Body worn video, captured by officers first on the scene which was shown to the jury, caught conversations between the 52-year-old and Naomi in their native Vietnamese. The 22-year-old is heard to say "You can kill me, how can you kill our little one?" Vuong was remanded in custody for psychiatric reports and will be sentenced on 29 February. Video of Vuong in the shop at the time of the fire can be viewed at https://youtu.be/MsSHccijhJo
