A £10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the conviction of those responsible for a deliberate arson attack on a mosque in Peacehaven, East Sussex.
The incident happened on the evening of Saturday, 4 October 2025, when fire tore through the mosque on Phyllis Avenue, causing significant damage to the building.
Worshippers who were inside at the time managed to escape unharmed after hearing a disturbance at the front door and spotting flames.
CCTV footage released by Sussex Police shows two masked suspects dressed in dark clothing approaching the mosque’s entrance before spraying an accelerant and setting it alight.
Crimestoppers, the independent charity, is now offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information they receive exclusively that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the attack.
A spokesperson for Crimestoppers said:
“This was a shocking and dangerous incident that could have had devastating consequences.
We are urging anyone who knows who was responsible to contact us. You can remain completely anonymous — we never ask for your name or trace your call.”
Police are continuing to investigate and are appealing for witnesses, dashcam, or CCTV footage from the area around Phyllis Avenue on the night of the fire.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or by filling out the secure online form at crimestoppers-uk.org
