Pair hunted over armed robbery at Edinburgh Post Office
It's said to have happened at 9am today.
Police have detained a man and are hunting two others following an armed robbery at a post office.
Three men entered Granton Post Office on Granton Mains Avenue in Edinburgh at around 9am on Friday.
They then allegedly threatened staff members with a bladed weapon before stealing a sum of money.
They fled the scene in a black Mini Cooper with the registration number SM15 UXB, and were last seen heading south on Granton Mains Avenue.
Police urged anyone with information about the incident or who has seen the car involved to contact them.
One of the suspects is described as white and aged in his early 20s, and he was wearing a grey tracksuit, black puffa jacket with a tracksuit top underneath, black trainers with white soles and black gloves.
Detective Sergeant Robbie Wallace said: Crimes of this nature are rare for Edinburgh and an extensive investigation is now under way to trace those responsible.
No-one was injured in this incident, however staff members within the shop were left badly shaken.
At this time we're pursuing all lines of inquiry and I urge anyone with relevant information to come forward.''
