Sussex Police are looking to identify a man in connection with two knifepoint robberies at convenience stores in Hove in February.
The first robbery occurred at around 8.11pm on Feb 12 in Westbourne Street, Hove when the suspect entered a store holding a large knife and demanded money.
He stole a significant number of cigarettes, cash from the till and left along Coleridge Street in the direction of Sackville Road.
The next day, a man entered a convenience store in Goldstone Road, Hove at 7.05pm carrying a large knife.
He left without taking anything after being confronted by the owner, making off northbound along Goldstone Street and left into Shirley Street.
On both occasions, the suspect was described as a white man in a dark hooded top, with his hood up and a face mask on.
Sussex police have released a CCTV screengrab and are appealing help identify the person in the photograph.
