ANOTHER suspect has been arrested in a police blitz on car villains in Brighton.

Earlier this month, five people were arrested after a string of vehicle break-ins.

The 28-year-old man arrested at the weekend was challenged by community beat officers who recognised him from security camera footage from car parks.

Acting Inspector Emma Brice said: "This was a good example of problem-solving by community officers on their beats."

The man was arrested in the Thistle Hotel underground car park in Black Lion Street, where ten thefts were reported earlier this month.

Insp Brice said: "We ask anyone spotting anything suspicious to call us immediately."
