Police have released CCTV images of two men they want to identify following a robbery at a jewellery store in West Sussex.

Sussex Police said two men were reported to have stolen multiple watches worth about £120,000 from Mappin and Webb in East Street, Chichester, at about 14:00 BST on Saturday.

The men then fled the area on foot, along St John's Street, the force said.

It asked anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to contact the force.

One of the men is described by police as white, with a skinny build, and wearing a black baseball cap, sunglasses, a light-coloured beige/grey top, skinny blue jeans and white trainers.

The other man is described as white and of average build, wearing a black baseball cap with a white "H" on the front, a black jumper, blue jeans and black trainers.

Sussex Police said: "They were seen to cut across a black or blue vehicle at the junction of East Street and St John’s Street.

"We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of that vehicle."
