Gun raider strikes at post office
An armed robber has raided a post office in Suffolk.

A man brandishing a gun entered the Kessingland Post Office in the High Street just before 1400 BST, on Thursday.

It is the third Suffolk post office robbery in three days, though police are not linking the raids.

The man pushed a customer aside, pointed the gun at a woman working behind the counter and demanded money.

He was handed an undisclosed sum and then left the premises, heading towards Livingstone's pub on the A12.

A few moments later a dark green car was seen leaving the area at speed.

Both the customer and the staff member, who have not been named, were left shaken but unhurt.

The man is described as white, in his 40s, of medium build, with a round face. He was wearing a navy blue coloured baseball cap.

He also had dark blue metal-framed sunglasses and a dark blue heavy tartan lumberjack-style shirt.
