Detective Inspector Kevin Downard, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: “We believe this robbery was carried out by three men.

“One man we urgently need to speak to is Michael McCluskey, who we think may be in south London. I urge people to look at his photo and if they know him or his whereabouts not to approach him but to contact us immediately.

“I would also appeal directly to Michael McCluskey to take himself to his nearest police station as soon as possible so he can be spoken to by officers.”
