Business owners in a West Sussex village are calling for more to be done to stop anti-social behaviour in the area, particularly from teenagers.

Muhammed Islam’s restaurant in Barnham was hit by problems in May, which escalated to violence when he was attacked.

Mehdi Gholamzadeh, who runs a kebab shop in the village, said anti-social behaviour has become worse and his business had been impacted at least once a week, including cash being stolen and damage to the site.

Ch Insp Will Keating-Jones said Sussex Police had increased its patrols in Barnham and was working with British Transport Police to ensure there was a “continued and heightened police presence”.
