Armed robbers target bookmakers

Two men carried out an armed robbery at Coral Bookmakers in Hastings and demanded that the two members of staff hand over all the money in the shop.

Sussex Police said the pair, both in motorcycle helmets, got away with an unspecified amount of cash on Saturday.

Officers have not revealed what weapon the two men had. There were two customers in the store at the time.

Police want to speak to anyone who saw the pair before the robbery in Battle Road at about 0930 BST.

Det Con Gavin Patch said it was thought the men drove away in a hatchback vehicle.
