Armed robbery at South Anston Post Office

Police were called to the Post Office at 4.24pm on Sunday to reports of an armed robbery - and arrested one suspect near to the scene.

A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said two suspects are believed to have entered the premises before demanding money with what has been described as a handgun,

They made off with a small amount of cash, she added.

A 32-year-old man, who was detained at the scene, has been arrested on suspicion of robbery, and remained in police custody today.

Police said they were still searching for the second suspect and a third individual who was waiting in a vehicle outside the store.
