Two men forced their way into the stock room of a phone shop and stole goods worth about £50,000 in a “brazen robbery”, police have said.

Sussex Police has released images of two men they want to identify after the theft from an O2 store in The Martlets, Crawley, at about 11:50 BST on Wednesday.

The pair forced their way into the stock room past a staff member, police said.

"This was a brazen robbery committed in the middle of the day with other customers in the shop at the time," CID supervisor Oli Robinson added.

The force is appealing to anyone may have seen the men that day, or recognise them from their local community, to get in touch.
