A ROBBER dressed in a woman's Islamic headdress and open-toed sandals stole cash from a post office in Sheffield.
The weapon-wielding raider threatened the sub-postmaster at Tinsley Post Office and forced him to hand over money before running off on Sheffield Road.

Post Office Ltd are offering up to £5,000 for information leading to a successful prosecution.

Police said the male suspect, who was Asian, burst into the shop at 5.30pm on Tuesday.

He was slim, 5ft 9ins tall and wore dark glasses, a knee-length, dark hijab and a dress with a light pattern. He carried a Burberry-style rucksack.

Call DC Russ Batteson on 0114 296 3449 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
