Staff shaken after armed robbery at Eastbourne shop

A man brandishing a knife reportedly entered One Stop in Winston Crescent and demanded money from two members of staff at about 9pm.

The suspect is described by police as white, about 5ft 9ins, of stocky build, with facial stubble, and was wearing a grey hoody – possibly Nike – black jogging bottoms and black trainers with three white stripes – possibly Adidas.

He also wore a black beanie hat, dark coloured gloves and a scarf covering his mouth which was black with a white stripe.
