The second incident took place on July 8, when a man emptied the till at Castle Wines in Felpham Road. Another man, aged 31, was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting a robbery after acting as a look-out for the robbery. He has since been released under investigation.

Several days later, on July 12, a man armed with a craft hammer and a knife demanded money from the till at the Post Office in Summerley Lane. He left the scene on foot.
