ARMED robbers escaped with up to £12,000 from a Bury Post Office.
Two masked men are being hunted by police after the raid at 4.20pm at Limefield Post Office, Walmersley Road.
One of the men smashed the security screen with a baseball bat. The 51-year-old post mistress ran into a back room for her own safety.
No customers were in the post office at the time.
The raiders drove off in a blue Volvo 740 which had been reported stolen earlier in the day.
The first offender is white, 5ft 8 ins tall, slim and wearing a vivid blue top and a black face mask.
His accomplice is white and was wearing a mask.
