Do you recognise this man?

That's the question officers investigating a robbery in Wellingborough want to know.

Between 5pm and 5.30pm on Tuesday, (May 27th), a man entered the Sheep Street Post Office, threatened staff with a weapon, stole various items including charity boxes, and then fled the premises.

A 29-year-old man from Northampton has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and is currently in police custody.

Police believe the man in the image may have information which could assist with their investigation and are appealing for him or anyone who recognises him to get in touch.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101, or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 888 111.
