This is the shocking moment a 'dangerous' robber sprays ammonia at Post Office workers in a terrifying raid. CCTV footage shows Daniel Burtak - who was wearing a false beard to conceal his identity - vaulting over a security screen and counter.
He's followed by a member of staff, but emerges to spray ammonia at her and another employee. The footage, released by police after Burtak was jailed today, also shows him helping himself to wads of notes from a cash till in a separate room.
Burtak and getaway driver Colin Naylor, both from Bolton, were locked up for 12 years each. Burtak sprayed ammonia from a washing-up liquid bottle at the members of staff before escaping from the branch on Abbey Street in Accrington, Lancashire, on a bicycle, police said.
