BREAKING: Bexhill robbery
A man described as white, 6’, late 30s and wearing a black leather hooded jacket, speaking with a southern accent, threatened a cashier and demanded that he hand over the contents of the till.
He then left the shop in the direction of Little Common.
Investigator Jo Weeks, of Sussex Police, said, “This type of offence is still quite rare, but was nevertheless a traumatic experience for the staff member involved.
