Officers were called to Dalewood Gardens at about 6.40pm on Tuesday (September 21).
The suspects left the area after the police were called.
One suspect, an 18-year-old man from Crawley, was later arrested in Barnfield Road on suspicion of being carried on a motor vehicle which was taken without the owner’s consent, possession of an offensive weapon and aggravated burglary.
He was released on police bail until October 19 while the investigation continues.
