Given that the Brighton and Hove's police force was too busy to nab a burglar on Tuesday, August 20, at 4.30pm, two questions need answering.
1. Are the city limits, stretching from Saltdean to Southwick, too big for the boots of the force?
2. Just how many response officers were on duty, available for deployment, at the relevant time?
