Computer games are becoming more and more realistic but surprised onlookers could be forgiven for thinking they had stepped into a real-life Lara Croft mission.

A dead ringer for the Tomb Raider heroine was reported brandishing pistols behind Tesco in Portslade in what turned out to have been a promotional event.

Police laughed off the incident but after having to waste their time investigating, they may hope this is one Lara Croft adventure which has no sequel.
