Raiders strike at Walsall post office

Four masked raiders burst into a Walsall post office today and stole cash before escaping in a waiting getaway car.

The balaclava-clad robbers brazenly charged into Moxley Post Office at 10.15am while a fifth gang member stayed at the wheel of a blue car outside.

They smashed the screen inside the shop and took a quantity of cash. It is thought the postmaster may have been injured in the attack in broad daylight.

Police set up a cordon around the Roberts Shopshop, and were questioning witnesses this afternoon.
