Two teenagers were arrested after cash and alcohol were stolen during a break-in at a wine bar.
The raid happened at Chapter 12 in the High Street, Hailsham, in the early hours of this morning.
A boy of 16 and a 19-year-old man are being held on suspicion of burglary.
Sergeant Mark Ritchie said: "Hailsham High Street has suffered from a recent spate of burglaries to commercial premises and we have increased patrols in response, which has resulted in this swift and successful action."
Sussex Police is appealing for witnesses to the incident and particularly wants to hear from anyone who saw a white Transit van performing a u-turn in the High Street at about 1am.
Anyone able to help should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101, quoting serial 37 of January 29.
