Post office robbed after staff held at knifepoint

TWO men, one armed with a knife, held up staff at Ferns Post Office making their getaway with a substantial amount of money.

The men, wearing balaclavas, entered the North Wexford post office at about 5.20pm on Wednesday. One of the men approached the two staff members and held them at knifepoint while the second demanded money. The raiders then made away with the day's takings a substantial amount of cash.

Enniscorthy gardaí said neither staff member was injured in the raid, but both were left traumatised.
