Police have released a CD-fit picture of a man they want to trace in connection with a knife robbery on a shop in Eastbourne.

A man with a knife threatened the 47-year-old owner of Continental Foodstores in Cavendish Place 9.20pm on April 8.

He ordered the owner to hand over cash from the till and escaped with about £600, together with cigarettes.

The offender and a second man fled the store and got into a dark blue car driven by a third man. They made off towards Cavendish Bridge.

The man with the knife was 25-30, white, 5ft 9in and wore a dark hooded top. He had unusually pronounced cheek bones.

The CD-fit picture is said to resemble him.

Anyone with information should call Detective Constable Bill Simons at Eastbourne CID on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
