During the latest incident, premises of Arun Ltd in Codmore Hill, Pulborough, were broken into at around 10.50 pm on January 10. But the would-be thief fled empty-handed after triggering an alarm.

Company director Dominic de Grouchy said: “We were also broken into six or seven weeks ago, as was Coughtrey’s butchers in Pulborough. People need to be vigilant.”

He said that during the first break-in, around four youngsters kicked in a door and stole some rubber gloves and a petrol can. They were also thought to have stolen a Porsche from a garage in Cowfold.

He added that youngsters were not thought responsible for the latest thwarted break-in. A man riding a BMX-style bike was spotted at the premises.

The company has posted CCTV footage on its Facebook page and supplied images to Sussex Police. See https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=arun%20ltd
