TWO masked raiders are being hunted after a robbery at a Bury post office.

The thugs, wearing balaclavas, entered the Chesham post office in the town's Walmersley Road at 12 noon on Monday.

One of the men vaulted over a glass screen and stole an unknown quantity of cash as the second man brandished a hammer at staff.

The pair made their escape in a previously stolen Volvo car which was recovered later in Fir Street, Bury.

Police investigations are continuing.
