Three people have been arrested in connection with property being stolen in Heathfield on Monday (February 1) morning.
Police said they received a report of items being taken from the front garden of a house by three people travelling in a silver van.
Officers say it follows a number of other reports over the last couple of weeks, of a group travelling in a similar vehicle and acting suspiciously in front and back garden areas of Wealden.
Police responded to sightings of a silver van in Uckfield on Monday morning and brought the vehicle to a safe stop in Calvert Road.
Suspected stolen property was recovered from inside the van.
Three people, a man aged 45 and two 17-year-old boys, all from Greenwich – were arrested on suspicion of theft.
They all remained in custody on Monday afternoon.
