Police are investigating after a fish bar in Horam was twice targeted by someone firing ball bearings from what is believed to have been a catapult. The Horam Fish Bar in the village's High Street had windows damaged just before 4pm on Saturday (November, 23), before a second incident took place just after 9.30pm. Police said the incidents are believed to be linked to others in the Wealden area in which food establishments were similarly damaged, including the window of a local butcher's shop. The first of Saturday's attacks may have involved a dark-coloured saloon car, possibly an Audi, which sped into Horam in Maynards Green Road, before heading south towards Hailsham. Inspector Jon Gross said: "We responded with high-visibility patrols in the area and enquiries are continuing in an effort to identify those responsible. "Fortunately, no-one was hurt on Saturday, but it is a matter of urgency that we trace those responsible and try to prevent further incidents of this kind." Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference number 1386 of 23/11.
