Balaclava-clad robbers weilding a crowbar made off with almost £500 and cigarettes during a raid on an Egham post office.

The incident happened on Tuesday at 6.20am when two men who were also wearing gloves pulled up outside the post office in Pooley Green Road in a dark Volkswagen Golf.

DC Howard Jones, investigating, said: "The offenders were disguised well and therefore officers have very limited descriptions to work from. The suspect who threatened the member of staff is described as being over 6ft tall and of a slim build."
