A man scammed the Barns Green Village Store and Post Office out of £650, say police.
Officers have launched an appeal to find the man after the theft in Chapel Road on Tuesday April 8.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: “Police received a report that a man had gone into Barns Green Post Office in Chapel Road, Barns Green, Horsham, on Tuesday (8 April) at 4.15pm and had asked to change £700 worth of £20 pound notes into £10 pound notes.
