Police investigating a robbery at a Bexhill newsagent have published a CCTV still of the man they are looking for.
The robbery happened at the Marina News newsagents, in Marina, Bexhill, on Saturday, June 14, at about 3.40pm.
A 20-year-old woman, who was working behind the shop's counter, was threatened and grabbed by a man with a large kitchen knife.
He demanded money from the till and stole £450.
The suspect was described as a white man, aged 25 to 40, 5ft 8in to 5ft 11in and of skinny build.
He was wearing black all-in-one overalls with white trainers, and an army green beanie hat.
The man disguised his face with dark sunglasses and a false ginger beard.
Detective Constable Paul Wren said: "We have now managed to enhance the image and from this it is clear he was also wearing a dark jacket with a distinctive logo on the back.
"Do you know someone who has such a jacket, and who suddenly seemed to have a lot of cash that day?
"If you recognise the suspect's description or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at this time please get in contact. It was a very hot day and the jacket would have seemed out of place."
Anyone with information should call 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk, quoting serial 1028 of 14/6. Alternatively, call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
