Four teenagers were arrested in connection with an incident at a petrol station in Bognor Regis.

A Sussex Police spokesperson has told how officers were called to the Esso garage on Chichester Road just after 7pm on January 6. Four 15-year-old boys were seen entering the store, and one attempted to climb over the counter to threaten a staff member.

Two teens were successfully detained by a member of the public and a staff member, but the others ran away when the police arrived.
