Police teams tackling vehicle crime across West Sussex have carried out warrants near Horsham.
The operation took place at Kingfisher Farm, outside Billingshurst.
Four suspected stolen e-bikes, worth thousands of pounds, and two suspected stolen caravans were seized.
Officers also recovered drugs and cash worth around 6-thousand pounds.

Detective Inspector Lee Simmonds said: “This was a complex operation involving officers from across West Sussex Division.
“We understand the concerns that vehicle crime and stolen items cause for communities, and have been working on targeting serious and organised criminals through dedicated operations in April.
“These warrants uncovered suspected drug dealing and a suspect was taken into custody in connection with the ongoing investigation.
“We were able to locate and remove four e-bikes and two caravans from the site and work is ongoing to ensure these are returned to the original lawful owners.
“Our enforcement work demonstrates our determination to tackle vehicle crime and organised criminality, and to disrupt the supply of drugs which cause so much harm to our communities.
“We continue to tackle these issues every day of the year, and encourage anyone who has been impacted by vehicle crime to report incidents to Sussex Police online.”
