A man entered the Lloyds branch on Uckfield High Street just after 9am on Friday 10 November, having stood outside the entrance for a few minutes prior.

He was wearing a face covering and dark-coloured gloves, and carried a reusable shopping bag.

Anyone with information or any relevant CCTV, dash cam or doorbell footage is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 329 of 10/11.
