Robber could be in the pink
Theft graphic
Police beleive the thief will be covered in pink dye
Police in Hull are hunting a thief who may be covered in pink and purple dye.

The man walked into a Post Office on Princes Avenue in Hull at about 0900 GMT on Saturday and threatened staff with a knife.

He then fled with the shop till, which police say contains a security device which sprays out coloured dye.

The man was wearing dark clothing and a woolly hat.

Police are appealing for anyone who spots a man with signs of a dye colouring on his clothing or body to contact them.
