Officers were called shortly after 7am on Wednesday (March 17), to reports of a burglary at St Paul’s Catholic College in Jane Murray Way, Burgess Hill.

It happened some time overnight, Sussex Police said, and saw damage caused to one of the buildings.

A police spokesman added: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish if any items were taken from inside.
