A man has been charged over a £136,000 armed raid at a Post Office in west London.
Rajvinder Kahlon, 41, is accused of robbing Sunaver and Ramandeep Dhillon at the branch on Brabazon Road, Hounslow.
The Metropolitan Police said a man entered the building making threats to the two members of staff with what they believed was a firearm.
He then made off with a large quantity of cash on April 1.
The alleged offence took place at the Post Office counter within a Go Local Xtra convenience store.
Flying Squad officers responded immediately, and detectives used a range of tactics to identify a suspect, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
On Thursday, Kahlon was arrested at his home address a mile away in Great West Road, Hounslow.
He appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 6 April, charged with robbery of £136,774.44 and possession of an imitation firearm, namely a handgun.
Kahlon was remanded into custody and will next appear at Isleworth Crown Court on May 6, 2024.
