Bracknell

Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses after two men tried to rob a post office in Bracknell on Friday (22/1).

At about 6am, the shopkeeper at the post office in Wildridings Square, Bracknell was opening up his store, when he was approached by two white men wearing balaclavas. One of the men was carrying a knife and the other a sledgehammer.

The robbers threatened the shop keeper and his wife before forcing their way into the Bracknell store. They attempted to break into the safe and the cash machine without success, and left empty-handed.

The shop keeper sustained cuts to his hand during the robbery, which were treated at the scene by ambulance staff.
