A masked man escaped with hundreds of pounds during a raid on a Mid Sussex newsagent this morning.
The balaclava-clad man, thought to be about 27, walked into the Forbuoys newsagent in Copthorne Bank, Copthorne, just after 6am.
He had what looked like a short silver metal pole and was well spoken and calm.
The raider told a member of staff and two paper boys he wanted the money from the tills.
He was white, about 5ft 9in tall, of medium build and wore jeans and a black bomber jacket. He was carrying a black bag.
Anyone with any information should contact Haywards Heath CID on 0845 6070999.
