BRAVE post office staff refused to hand over money to armed robbers during a raid on Tuesday.

Three men wearing balaclavas walked into Rufford Drive post ffice, Whitefield, about 5pm demanding cash.

They shouted at staff and began hitting the security screen with a large monkey wrench.

The gang fled in a blue Honda Civic which was later found abandoned. The men were all white, 5ft 6ins and of slim build.
