TWO robbers armed with a machete and an extended baton threatened staff at Golborne Post Office.
CCTV footage has been released of the attack at around 5.30pm on Friday, October 4 on Heath Street, which shows the attack where the men threatened staff and demanded cash.
No-one was injured during the robbery and the offenders didn’t leave with anything, however staff members were left understandably shaken.
The man holding the baton is described as having a large build and the man with a machete is described as having a slim build and wearing a black North Face coat.
The offenders are believed to have fled in a silver Vauxhall Meriva which was found later abandoned on Legh Street.
