DETECTIVES investigating a village post office robbery last night appealed for information from witnesses.
Five people were arrested following Wednesday's raid on the premises in Penshaw, near Sunderland, and were yesterday helping police with inquiries.
But Washington CID urged anyone who witnessed the raid, in Rose Street West, at 11.13am on Wednesday, to contact them, on 0191-454 7555.
A Northumbria force spokesman said the incident was not connected to another post office robbery, in Wingrove Terrace, Springwell Village, near Washington, on August 8.
