CCTV pictures have been released of three men police want to speak to about a robbery at a newsagents in Tunbridge Wells.

Two female members of staff were closing up the shop in Silverdale Road at around 9.45pm on Tuesday when one of them was grabbed from behind.

A second man then entered the store and confronted the other shop assistant. It is thought a third man acted as a look out during the robbery.

The second man is also said to be Asian and aged between 25 to 35 years old. He is around 6ft tall and of medium build and was wearing a hat and scarf covering his face, dark shoes, a dark jacket and dark trousers.

The third suspect was white and was wearing a blue beanie hat and a black hooded coat with a white motif on the arm.
