Police are hunting four men who stole thousands of pounds in a raid on an East Grinstead post office.

Three members of the gang jumped over the counter and stole cash from the tills while one remained in the customer area.

Police have just released details of the robbery, which happened at Forbuoys, London Road, East Grinstead, on Friday at 5pm.

After stealing the cash, the men ran across London Road and into Rices Hill before making off towards Cantelupe Road where they are believed to have got into a small dark-coloured car and driven off towards the High Street.

The men are described as three black men - one with a Jamaican accent - and one white man. All are in their early 20s and wore hooded sports tops.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Richard Bebb said: "No weapons were used and no one was injured.

"We need to speak to anyone who may have seen either people who fit these descriptions or their car, before or after the incident."
