CCTV images of Bognor betting shop robbers

Police have issued CCTV pictures of two men they want to talk to in relation to a robbery at a betting shop in Bersted, Bognor Regis, on 2 August, 2011.

Two men entered Ladbrokes in Chichester Road at around 9.15pm and threatened two members of staff with sticks and demanded money.

The male staff handed over several hundred pounds in cash and the men also took a mobile phone belonging to one of the staff members off the counter and left.

Neither of the staff were injured.

The first man is described as white, approximately 5'4", around 35-years-old and with gingery stubble on his face. He was wearing a patterned baseball cap, dark jacket, jeans and grey trainers.

The second man is described as white, approximately 6' and of stocky build. He was wearing a Nike shell suit top in various shades of blue and wearing a hood which covered his face. He was also wearing black tracksuit bottoms.

Detective Constable Mark Burgess of West Sussex CID said: "I hope that by issuing these pictures from CCTV someone may be able to recognise them. We do not believe that this robbery is linked with other similar robberies in West Sussex and the rest of the county. Anyone with information which may assist with our enquiries is asked to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 quoting serial 1997 of 2/8 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
