The robbery took place at the Post Office on Drakes Cross Parade, in Hollywood, Worcestershire, south of Birmingham, shortly before 7pm on Monday, December 30. Three intruders gained entry via the back door before assaulting a staff member and gaining entry to a safe containing the large quantity of money. They stuffed the money in a blue duffle bag and swiped a phone and computer too.
The trio then fled the scene in a black Honda Civic, with a registration number starting with PY08. The robbers were wearing black jackets, jeans and black masks.
