Police hunt post office raiders

The raiders had dark clothing and wore ski masks

Police are hunting three masked men who carried out a robbery at a post office on Gower.

Postmistress Rosemary Brangwyn, 71, needed hospital treatment after the men forced their way into Port Eynon Post Office.

Detectives say the robbery may be linked to a raid on a Gower pub last month.

The men left the post office with a large amount of money, South Wales Police said.

Officers said one of the men who spoke during the raid had a Welsh accent and was wearing red and white leather gloves.

He was white, around 5ft 7ins tall, and was dressed in dark trousers and a dark zipped jacket.

All three men were wearing ski-masks.

High-powered vehicle

South Wales Police said the men forced their way into the post office, at around 0300BST on Thursday and ordered Mrs Brangwyn and her daughter to open the safe.

The victims described hearing a high-powered vehicle as the raiders left the scene.

Mrs Brangwyn, who had run the post office and shop for more than 40 years, was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police say a link between the robbery and a similar incident at the Poundffald Inn at Three Crosses six weeks ago, when a gun was held to the head of a woman who was looking after the pub, cannot be ruled out.

Anyone with information is asked to call Swansea Central CID on 01792 456999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
