A newsagent has told how he was hit in the face during a robbery.

Two young men entered JS Minimarket, Church Street, Cliffe, on Saturday, October 5.

Manager Jas Sathi noticed the duo making a lot of noise in the park opposite his store.

When they entered he decided to serve them quickly.

Mr Sathi said: "They came in at about 7.25am when I was organising the newspapers.

"They picked up around £8 of shopping plus £4 of pies.

"They said they had given me £10 but it was my first sale of the day and I could not see any of the money in the till.

"When I asked again one of them hit me and they ran off with the shopping.

"I wasn't bleeding but my nose started swelling up.

"I've been attacked before but not in this shop.

"When it's your own business you just have to move on and carry on working."

Police have released CCTV images of a man who could assist with their investigation.

Anyone who recognises the man is asked to call Kent Police on 01634 792209 quoting 46/193989/19
