A Black Country pub landlord today told how he was robbed of £1,000 takings at knifepoint in broad daylight.

Sean Ryan had just left the Prince of Wales in Woodsetton at about 9am to bank the cash when he was attacked in the car park.

A man brandishing a flick-knife threatened to stab him and made him hand over a laptop bag containing the money and a computer.

The robbery happened as Mr Ryan was on his way to take the money to the Post Office in Sedgley.
