An Eastbourne shop worker was knocked down a flight of stairs by two men who stole thousands of pounds' worth of jewellery.

The men ransacked Hanique Jewellers in Trinity Trees at 8.05am on Friday December 13.

Police believe the pair drove off in a blue, H-registration car which may have been parked in Trinity Place at 6am that morning.

Officers are examining CCTV footage taken in the shop.

The raiders were both white, aged 20 to 30 and wore dark clothes. One wore a grey top and the other a black jacket.

Anyone with any information about the robbery is asked to contact Eastbourne police on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
