Farm shop is theft target for third time

Raiders escaped with drinks and food when a farm shop was targeted for the third time this year.

Thieves struck at New House Farm in Old Crawley Road in north Horsham at around 9pm on March 6.

Frustrated farm owner Max Walton said his property had been targeted on two previous occasions since January. “They got away with several hundred pounds worth of meat, cans of drink, wine and cakes,” he said.

Max has since stepped up security and installed new alarms and cameras.

He said he feared crime in the Horsham area generally was on the increase and there were too few police to deal with it. “I just think it’s dreadful what people do. Petty crime is pathetic.”
