Police are hunting a burglar who carried out break-ins at six businesses in the same town within 24 hours.

The thefts were all reported in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, between 2 and 3 April.

Two were the High Street, two in Bedford Street, one in the Boulevard and one at the Co-op supermarket in Chichester Road.

Detectives have issued a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with one of the robberies.

Det Insp Ed Bhonet said: "We acknowledge the financial and emotional impact business crime has on owners and employees, particularly when a business is repeatedly targeted."

He appealed for any witnesses, or anyone who has doorbell or dashcam footage, to come forward.
