A shop worker was robbed as he went to pay the day's takings into the post office.
He had just left Alldays in Seven Dials, Brighton, with a large amount of cash in notes in a purple bag.
The bag was snatched from the shop assistant outside the Post Office in Melville Road by a man who approached him from behind.
The suspect was 5ft 10in tall, stocky and wore a three-quarter length black coat with a hood.
