Postmaster injured in Dromintee armed raid
Published: 3rd Feb 2010 15:55:00
A postmaster has suffered a head injury during an armed robbery in south Armagh on Wednesday morning.
The man was opening the post office in Drumintee when he was confronted by a masked man armed with a gun.
The victim was forced to kneel for 15 minutes while his assailant waited for a time-delayed lock on a safe to open.
Before fleeing with the contents of the safe, the raider pushed the postmaster, who hit his head on a metal bar.
It is the second time in six weeks the premises has been targeted.
