Man Remanded Following Brighton Burglaries

After businesses and a home were burgled in Brighton and Hove, a man has been remanded.

On 10 May, it was reported that a person had entered a hotel in Preston Road and stole a number of bottles of spirit from behind the bar.

Later in the month, two attempts to break into a pub in Union Road were also reported.

Lastly, on 2 June, a property in Davigdor Road was burgled, with a number of items reported as stolen, including a bank card.

The investigation, and assistance from the Brighton Crime Reduction Partnership, led to arrest of 54-year-old Terry Evans on 8 June on suspicion of his involvement.

On Wednesday, 10 June, Evans, of no fixed address, appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court, charged with two counts of attempted burglary, burglary, fraud by false representation, and burglary other than a dwelling.

He has been remanded in custody, and is next due to appear at Lewes Crown Court on 8 July.
