Post office robbed for third time

A Suffolk post office has suffered its third robbery this year.

The latest attack on the Hacheston post office, near Woodbridge, happened on Thursday evening just before 1700 GMT.

Two men wearing balaclavas went into the post office in The Street, and demanded cash.

One of them was carrying a weapon that looked like a shotgun and staff at the post office handed over money from the till.

No shots were fired and nobody was hurt but it is the latest attack in a series of raids in Hacheston.

During a robbery last May the postmaster threatened with a knife before being locked in the toilet with a paper bag taped over his head.

In January, a man on his own threatened staff before taking cash.
