A GIFT shop at a children's adventure park has been held up in an armed robbery.

Detectives have released a CCTV image of a suspect they wish to speak to after the incident at Knockhatch, near Hailsham last month.

One suspect browsed the shop before asking for change for a note. When the till was opened, he demanded cash from it, and indicated he had a knife. He left with money and another man.

The man caught on CCTV is white, in his late 30s, of large build and about 5' 10". He has short black hair with a full beard and was wearing a red T-shirt and dark jeans.

The other man, who waited outside, is white, late 30s, skinny build and with blonde or gingery hair.

Anyone with information should call Sussex Police on 101, quoting serial 973 of July 26.

Detective Constable Chris Mills, of Sussex Police, said: "We hoping someone will recognise this man and get in touch."

The incident happened at around 3.40pm on Wednesday, July 26.
