A hoodie teenager carried out a terrifying armed robbery at an off-licence.

Armed with a large hunting knife the youth went into The Offie, in Goring Road, Worthing, and threatened workers.

He then grabbed £100 out the till and two bottles of vodka before making his escape on a bike just before 5pm on new year's eve.

Sussex Police say the crook was aged either 17 or 18 and between 5ft 2in and 5ft 6in tall and had shaved eyebrows.

He wore a white hoodie, dark trousers and white Reebok Classic shoes.
