Police were twice called to disperse pickets from outside the East Grinstead home of an anti-Church of Scientology campaigner.

On Sunday, three Scientology members stood outside Jon Atack's house in Cranston Road.

Mr Atack said they carried placards proclaiming: Stop destroying families, Get a proper job like the rest of us and Support your own family and stop destroying ours.

"They were an absolute nuisance. I was incensed," he said.

"They had no answer when I asked them which families I had destroyed."

The demonstrators left when the police were called to the scene.

They returned on Tuesday morning but left again when the police arrived.

Scientology spokesman Peter Mansell said: "It was a peaceful protest, they were just expressing their views."
