DETECTIVES investigating a robbery at a Warrington Post Office when a member of staff was threatened have issued CCTV images of two males they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

The robbery took place at around 8am on Wednesday 2 September, when officers received a report that two unknown males had entered the post office on Longshaw Street and demanded money from the till.
The males threatened a post office worker with what is believed to be a knife and CS gas canister before making off with a quantity of cash.
They then fled the scene on foot towards Sankey Valley Park.
Officers are urging anyone with information that they believe could help with the investigation to get in touch.
Detective Constable Vicky Hancox said: “We are keen to speak to the two males pictured in the CCTV image as we believe they could have vital information that could help with our investigation.
“Our officers have been following several lines of enquiry in the local area and we are determined to track down the people responsible and bring them to justice.
“I would ask anyone who may recognise the males pictured in the CCTV to come forward.
“Also, I would urge anyone who may have seen anything around the Longshaw Street area at the time of the incident to get in touch.”
