Four teenagers were arrested over the weekend after a break-in at a pub in Barcombe, Lewes, in which £2,000 in cash and a quantity of alcohol was stolen.

Sussex Police said the keys to the pub and those for the landlord's car were also taken in the burglary at the Anchor Inn at 7.30am on Sunday.

All four have been bailed until October 3.
