On Sunday, June 6, two men entered the Coral shop in Privett Road, Gosport and threatened a member of staff, carrying what is thought to be a machete and a firearm.

But the staff member refused to give over any money and they left empty-handed, before getting into a black vehicle and driving off down Privett Road.

Updating their description of the second man, police say he was wearing a black jacket with an orange logo, with the word ICE on it.

Initially, it was thought that the logo on the jacket was white.

A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘We want to speak to the two people pictured in these images. We appreciate their faces are mostly obscured, but perhaps you recognise the clothing?
