Robbers made off with thousands of pounds after they held up Harry Ramsden's on Brighton Seafront and forced the manager to open the safe. 

Detectives are appealing for information about a robbery at a fish and chip shop in Brighton on Monday (April 6).

Officers were called to Harry Ramsden's in Marine Parade, Brighton around 8am where two men had forced the back door. The manager was in the restaurant and was forced to open the safe and the men stole money, believed to be several thousands of pounds.

They then left via the back door.

Detective sergeant Cheryl Lewendon said: "The manager thankfully was uninjured and was able to raise the alarm. The suspects are described as white men who spoke with foreign accents, they were both wearing balaclavas, dark jogging bottoms, black jackets, one with a high vis over the top.
