Police want to trace a man who attempted to break into a police station.
He was spotted removing six 4ft-long bars from the ground floor of Lewes police station, in West Street, last Thursday.
The man fled after being disturbed and the incident is being investigated.
Sector commander Inspector Rex Matthews said: "It is perhaps unusual to hear someone is removing the bars of a police station from the outside.
"Most criminals try to escape from the inside."
Anyone with information should call Lewes police on 0845 6070999.
