Police want to speak to these two men in connection with a robbery at a bookies in Epsom.
The incident occurred shortly before 6pm on Thursday, August 15 at the Coral bookmakers, on Chessington Road, when two men entered the store and threatened a member of staff.
The men told the victim, who was alone in the shop at the time, that they had a firearm but no weapon was seen.
The member of staff was forced to open a till and a safe, and hand over a quantity of cash.
After taking the money, it is now believed the two men made off on foot in the direction of West Ewell.
A small black hatchback car was parked on Plough Road around the time of the offence and officers believe this may be connected.
Detective Sergeant Judith Burton, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was a concerning incident where a lone member of staff has been threatened by two cowardly individuals.
"Fortunately the victim was not hurt during the incident but he has understandably been left extremely shaken by what must have been a very frightening experience.
"The robbery took place in a busy area so I feel sure that passing motorists must have seen or heard something out of the ordinary.
"I am also keep to speak to anyone who saw where the two men went immediately after the robbery."
Detective Constable Steven Cassidy, who is also on the investigation team, added: "We are now releasing images of two men who we believe were in the area at the time of the robbery and who may hold vital information on this incident.
"If you recognise either of the men please contact us as a matter of urgency as we need to find those responsible for this robbery and bring them to justice."
Anyone who recognises the men in the images or who has any other information on this offence is urged to contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference EP/13/3463 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
