Detective Constable Steven Pittman said: “Sussex Police takes a firm stance on violent offenders and this result shows our commitment to putting those responsible in front of the courts.

“The group caused huge distress and trauma for the victims. No one should have to suffer a crime of this sort, let alone in their own home.

“I hope we can bring some peace to the victims now they are behind bars, and I hope this will be a deterrent to those thinking of committing an offence.”
