Quick-thinking staff managed to trap a robber who claimed to have a gun inside the post office he was trying to rob.
Michael McCann had waited patiently in a queue for the post office counter before presenting his card and asking to withdraw money and close his account, which had less than £2 in it.
As he was handed the cash, he calmly and chillingly told the woman behind the counter: "Don't shut the till, I've got a gun."
