MASKED men snatched a consignment thought to contain jewellery worth thousands of pounds in a robbery on two Royal Mail workers.

The pair, aged 26 and 54, were threatened by the thugs as they made a collection on Vittoria Street in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter at 5.20pm on Friday night.

Detectives said the attackers did not appear to be armed.

A member of staff at nearby Centre Jewellery said a colleague had witnessed the robbery but did not wish to comment.

A police spokesman said: “The offenders are believed to have made off in a Rover 25.”

So where is the postman?
We could have a "spot the postman" competition.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
