A rubber-gloved raider escaped with cash after threatening two shop assistants with a knife.

The man burst into Unwins off-licence in Powis Road, Brighton, at 10.25pm yesterday and told staff: "Give me the f*****g money."

He took cash from the till and fled, leaving the two male assistants shocked but unhurt.

The offender is 25 to 30 and wore a black scarf round his face, a black jacket, a black woolly hat and purple rubber surgical gloves.

Witnesses or anyone with information should call Brighton and Hove CID on 0845 6070999.
