OFFICERS in Rotherham have released a CCTV image of two men they want to speak to in connection with an armed robbery at Kimberworth post office on Church Street at the weekend.

A police spokesperson said: “It is reported that at about 11.50am on Sunday, March 20, two men entered the premises wearing dark clothing and some form of covering on their faces. 

“One presented a knife to the shop assistant working at the time, while the other walked around the back of the counter to take the till.
