Officers are appealing for information following an armed robbery at a Post Office.

A man wearing a face covering threatened staff with a crowbar before escaping with a quantity of cash from the till and cigarettes. It happened at the Annesley Woodhouse Post Office in Forest Road, Annesley Woodhouse, at around 5.40am yesterday (Wednesday 24 January 2018). No-one was hurt.

The man is white, about 6ft tall, of medium build and was wearing black clothing.
