More than 15 people were arrested in Eastbourne over the weekend for offences including burglary and drink driving, police have said.

Officers said arrests were also made for being drunk and disorderly, public place based violence and failing to appear in court.

A Sussex Police spokesperson added: “Motorists ordered to appear in court on suspicion of having committed a drink or drug driving offence will also have their names and details published online and be made available to the media as a deterrent to others.
