Tarring Co-op robbery reward for information

DETECTIVES are offering a Â£500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the Tarring Co-op robbery.

At 9.20pm on Monday, July 26 two men went into the Co-op shop in South Street, Tarring, Worthing, and demanded money from the staff.

One of the men had what appeared to be a handgun and the other man produced what he said was a canister of CS spray. Neither the gun or the can were set off.

Detective Sergeant Jason Turner said: "Detectives are conducting a thorough investigation into this serious offence.

"If you saw anything suspicious in the South Street or St Dunstans Road area at the time of the robbery or have any information please report it."

One member of staff, a man in his late 20s, was punched in the face and body. He was treated at Worthing Hospital.

The men took about 200 cash and left through the rear entrance into St Dunstan's Road.
