The post-master of the Post Office in Richmond, North Yorkshire, was grabbed in the rear yard of the shop after closing time last night and handcuffed to a radiator with his wife by four or five thieves.
The balaclava-clad attackers then made off with a substantial amount of money. The victims received slight injuries and are said to be extremely distressed. Anyone with any information is asked to ring (01609) 783131.
