Where is the security in our city? By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk
CITY centre traders are asking where the security is after three businesses were broken into last week. Good News newsagents, in St Martin's, Lush in East Street and The Real Eating Company in North Street were all broken into at night last week and now other shops are asking what is being done. Sheryl Williams, manager of Lush, a
shop which sells handmade cosmetics, said thousands of pounds worth of stock was stolen last Thursday night. "The thieves broke in through the back door. They used some sort of crowbar to chisel out the brickwork around the door," she said "It seems like a planned attack, not just trying their luck. It's a big, heavy metal door like a fire door. Even the police said there is no CCTV in the streets, no patrols. "It just makes you worry a bit about
when they will come back again. The city needs more security especially with cameras." Two cameras are visible in North Street and East Street but not all the areas of the shops are covered say business owners. Good News was broken into at 10pm on Wednesday, February 12. Owner Joyce Tidy told the Chichester Post: "We are obviously really upset, especially as we had taken all the obvious precautions. "The police arrived within four minutes
of the alarm going off, which is just fantastic." The newsagents is celebrating being in the city for 30 years in April and say they have only been broken into once before, some years ago. "The thieves broke in by smashing the glass on the front door and climbing their way in. One of them then climbed over the counter and to the locked up cigarette counter. Turn to page three
