Woman assaulted during post office shop robbery

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man assaulted a woman at a post office before taking items.

The incident happened shortly before 18:30 BST on Monday 28 April when two men entered the Shop at the Ship in Newnham-on-Severn, Gloucestershire.

Cash was taken from a till, while another man stole multiple packs of tobacco from behind the counter. They left in a black Volkswagen T-Roc, which was driven by a woman in the direction of Lydney.

A woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of robbery in connection with the incident but was later released on bail while further enquiries take place.
