Two men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery on the post office in Stanton Harcourt yesterday.

The men, both in their mid-30s, have been released on police bail pending further inquiries until February 5.

Police investigating the incident are continuing to appeal for the public's help.

The robbery happened at about 10.20am.

A masked robber threatened staff with a gun and stole cash and cigarettes.

The man left the scene in an old-style green Rover which was found abandoned in Wadards Meadow, Witney.

The vehicle is believed to have got caught behind a silver estate car as it sped out of the village and officers are keen to speak to the driver of that vehicle.

Anyone with any information should contact Det Sgt Richard White on 0845 8 505 505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
