A high street shop has suffered its second robbery in a month with cash taken both times.

A man was reported to have walked into the building just after midnight yesterday morning.

The individual threatened a staff member before demanding money from a safe.

The rear of the property was used to enter and exit the property by the robber, who left with a bag of money.

The description of the suspect - black, around 5ft 8ins tall and wearing a balaclava - have led police to link it to the previous robbery on the site, which occurred on Sunday, January 27.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Leah Roberts said: "We believe these robberies are linked and are renewing our appeal for witnesses.

"We are also still seeking the identity of the man in this photo, who may be able to assist with our enquiries.

"Whilst the face is not clear in this image, we hope someone will recognise the clothing, footwear and build of the man and let us know who he is."

Anyone with information on either of these robberies should contact Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting reference 46/17547/19.
