A robber posing as a customer threatened phone shop staff with scissors.

The man was looking at phones on display in Carphone Warehouse in Montague Street, Worthing, and was found to have cut a Samsung Galaxy Note mobile from a display on the wall with a pair of scissors.

When approached by two shop staff, he threatened them with the scissors before running out of the shop.

The suspect, who was in the shop at 10.20am on Sunday, is described as black, between 24 and 30 years old and was wearing a deer hunting-style hat.

Anyone who saw this man enter or leave the shop is asked to call us via 101 quoting serial 0542 of 17/3.
