FOUR raiders fled empty handed after attempting to rob a Whitefield post office.

One of the men ran into the Rufford Drive post office brandishing a car jack handle and demanding money.

The counter staff refused and activated the alarm.

The raider fled and jumped into a waiting Mondeo car occupied by three other men.

Whitefield CID are investigating yesterday morning's attempted robbery and anyone with information should contact detectives on 0161 856 8248.
