Sussex Police are looking to identify this man after significant damage was caused to the windows of a residential address in Andrew Avenue, Bognor Regis.

The incident, which appears to be a targeted attack possibly using a hammer, occurred around 3am on Wednesday 9 February.

The suspect is described as a white man, approximately 40 years of age, about 5'9”, of slim build and with a dark beard.

I am hopeful that someone will know who this individual is and can assist us in bringing them to justice and give those affected some peace of mind.”
