Just to be pedantic but there's no need to use "allegedly" when reporting whether the crime actually occurred. The postman wasn't "allegedly robbed", the presumption of innocent until guilty applies to who robbed him not whether he was robbed.

He was robbed.
The bawbag "allegedly" robbed him.
Journalistic standards meh.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Fish,
Someone stole some letters from a postman. Whether or not it was robbery will depend on whether violence or the threat of violence was used when those letters were stolen. :cuppa
