He was last seen by the junction with Rowlands Road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The suspect is described as white, around 5&#8217;11\u201d and was wearing glasses as well as a grey face covering. He had three tops on: a blue jumper on top of a black hoodie which was worn over a burgundy jumper. The blue jumper had pre-cut holes where the suspect&#8217;s thumbs protruded. He was also wearing Nike tracksuit bottoms with a bold navy blue stripe down the side to just below the knee and predominantly grey and white Nike trainers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Detective Sergeant Simon Dunn said: &#8220;Understandably the two members of staff have been left shaken by this incident, but fortunately no one was injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;If you saw anything at all suspicious around the time of the incident, or have any other information, please call us.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;We believe this robbery may be linked to three other similar incidents in the area that happened on the 13, 18 and 22 August.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;I would urge the man pictured, or anyone who knows of his whereabouts, to get in touch with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Witnesses can email<a href=\"mailto:101@sussex.pnn.police.uk\">101@sussex.pnn.police.uk <\/a>or call 101 quoting Operation Zinger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Alternatively, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 (<a href=\"http:\/\/svm-spotlight-1\/SussexPolice\/PressReleaseStyle2\/Modify\/www.crimestoppers-uk.org\">www.crimestoppers-uk.org<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/window-pit.tttrrreee.xyz\">window repair Pittsburgh<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police Media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[375],"tags":[113],"class_list":["post-11646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-police"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
