A BRAVE postmistress politely refused to hand over money when she was threatened at gunpoint.
The 33-year-old woman told the raider to go away after he walked into Whittaker Lane post office in Prestwich at 4pm on Thursday (Feb 13).
The thug ordered her to put cash in a carrier bag he placed on the counter and threatened her with a handgun. He fled empty-handed when his request was turned down.
He was white, aged 27, with a very thin, red face. He wore a black hat and dark clothes. Witnesses should contact Whitefield CID on 856 8248.
