Masked men brandishing hammers rob Post Office in Wickhambrook
Robbers wearing masks and brandishing hammers have got away with cash from the till of a Post Office in Wickhambrook.
The armed robbery took place on Saturday, February 25, at about 5.50pm at Thorns Corner.
Two masked suspects entered the store and threatened the male shop assistant and the female shopkeeper with hammers.
The offenders then pushed the two staff around the store making demands on them to locate and open the shop safe.
The alarm was then activated and the offenders left the scene with cash contents of the till. The two victims were shaken but unhurt in the incident.
The male offenders were both wearing black ski masks – one wore a dark blue hooded top, was described as “stocky” and was about 5ft 11ins tall. The second was wearing a matching shell suit with three strips down the side and also a grey “beanie” hat.
Enquiries are ongoing to locate the two suspects and anyone who witnessed any suspicious behaviour at the time or who saw a grey van in the area at the time should contact Bury St Edmunds CID, quoting crime number 37/11500/23.
