A police cordon was set up outside a supermarket following an incident.

Officers were seen at a branch of Sainsbury’s in Hampden Park in Eastbourne last night at around 7pm.

Police also cordoned off a section of an alleyway near Brassey Avenue, also in Hampden Park - around half a mile away from the Sainsbury’s.

Several officers were seen at the scene of the incident, with one seen holding an evidence bag.

Sussex Police have been contacted for comment.

More as we have it.
