An arson attack at a football club caused thousands of pounds worth of damage.
Police believe conifer trees were deliberately set alight near the stand at Hailsham Football Club on Tuesday evening.
Officers said the blaze caused around £35,000 of damage at the recreation ground in Western Road.

"If anyone has information to help us with our investigation, or has any footage of the incident, including dash cam footage from passing cars, please contact police online or call 101, quoting serial 1235 of 12/11.”
