Three male suspects wearing balaclavas stole mobile phones and accessories from a shop in a town centre, police said.

Officers said the group threatened staff at the O2 shop in Tavern Street in Ipswich during the robbery at about 13:00 BST on Thursday.

Suffolk Police said the suspects carried a large sports bag and fled on foot.

The force appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

The third suspect was described as wearing black jogging bottoms with a white logo on the left thigh, a black hoodie with "man" written in white across the chest and black trainers.
