Officers were called to a shop in Carden Avenue, Brighton, shortly after 10.30am on the 24th February 2022 after shopworkers in County Oak Post Office reported two males arriving on a red scooter and entering the store holding knives. They threatened shop workers and demanded they open the till, but left without taking anything after being confronted and pursued out of the store. One woman who worked at the store suffered an injury to the hand during a struggle with one of the suspects. The pair made off on the vehicle northbound along Carden Avenue. They are both described as wearing all-black jackets, tracksuit bottoms, trainers and helmets. Anybody who witnessed the incident, or has any information which could help with the investigation, is asked to contact police online here: or by calling 101, quoting serial 387 of 24/02.
