ROBBERS dragged a shop worker into an office and forced her to open a safe before stealing cash and alcohol.
Three men went into the Chantry Post Office, in McColls, The Precinct, Warwick, before dragging the female victim through the store to a back office, where they made her open the safe.
They escaped with a large quantity of cash and some bottles of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
Both wine bottles had promotional stickers on them.
The victim, said to be in her 40s, suffered a bump to the head and was very shaken by her ordeal.
Warwickshire Police is investigating the robbery, which took place at 9.15pm on Sunday.
One of the men was white and wore a light grey hooded tracksuit, possibly with a Nike logo, grey gardening or building gloves with yellow on the thumbs and fingers, a dark top under the hoodie and dark
trainers.
The second was white and wore a dark grey or blue hooded tracksuit, black gloves, a black woolly hat under his hood, a light blue top under the tracksuit top, black trainers, and he also had a white scarf or handkerchief covering his mouth. He was carrying a multi-coloured JD Sports drawstring bag.
The third man was also white and wore dark tracksuit bottoms and a dark jacket with small white lettering or a logo on the left side of the chest area, black gloves, a black balaclava with the eyes cut out and black trainers with light coloured laces with lime green or yellow on the heel area.
It is believed the robbers escaped in a car which was parked nearby.
Two members of the public were in the shop at the time and police are keen to trace a man who went into the store twice in the 40 minutes before the robbery took place.
Officers have conducted house-to-house enquiries and are examining CCTV footage of the time of the incident and the moments leading up to it.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det Sgt Iain Shearer at Leamington CID
on 01926 415000 or Crime-stoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
