Armed robbery at New Forest post-office
A BALACLAVA-wearing man staged an armed robbery at a New Forest post office this morning.
The man, who was wearing a white balaclava, walked into Blackfield Post Office in the New Forest after it had opened at 9am.
He threatened staff and one member of the public who was in the store at the time, and then left with some cash.
Police say he was armed, but the force has not confirmed what weapon he was carrying when he carried out the robber.
An investigation is currently ongoing at the scene, and Hampshire Constabulary has urged members of the public to avoid the area “to avoid interfering with the investigation.”
They have also appealed for anyone with information to contact Lyndhurst CID on 101.
