ARMED raiders assaulted two customers in a Wythall post office before leaving empty-handed.

Three masked robbers carrying a knife and what was believed to be a handgun entered the post office at Drakes Cross Shopping Parade shortly before noon on Friday.

After fleeing empty-handed they drove off along Alcester Road towards the Maypole, leaving the assaulted customers shocked and suffering minor injuries.

Police found the abandoned blue Ford Mondeo about 40 minutes later in Selly Oak, Birmingham.

DI Paul Williamson said four Asian men were seen running from the car in Selly Oak.
