WORKERS at a Wigan post office were left terrified as robbers smashed a car through the window and threatened them with a shotgun.

The offenders, thought to be four men, drove a black Vauxhall Corsa through the shop front on Hall Lane, Up Holland, as staff were stocking up a cash machine at just after 5.30pm on Friday.

A significant amount of cash was taken and police are appealing for witnesses after the car was later found abandoned on nearby Rivington Drive.

Detective Sergeant Phil Bowerbank, said: “Fortunately, none of the victims have been injured but understandably have been left extremely shaken by what can only be described as a terrifying ordeal.

“Any piece of information, no matter how small could be crucial to the investigation so please come forward if you think you can help.”

Anyone with any information should call Lancashire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
