Three raiders burst into a shop and terrorised staff before making off with cash and cigarettes.

Dramatic video footage shows the incident unfolding shortly after 10pm on Sunday January 18.

The robbers struck at the One Stop shop in Billingshurst Road, Broadbridge Heath, near Horsham.

As two women shopworkers were locking up to go home three men wearing dark clothing and with their faces covered burst through the door. The women, aged 46 and 32, were roughly pushed around by the intruders who ordered them to hand over several hundreds of pounds in cash and cigarettes.

The three men then fled, making off in a dark-coloured Peugeot car.

Detective Sergeant Sian Harding said: "Although the women in the shop were not badly hurt this was a terrifying incident for them and we are determined to track down the offenders."
