A postman was robbed in Liverpool city centre while going about his daily duties.
It was reported the postman was walking at the junction of Harrington Street and Dorans Lane after having collected a quantity of high value jewellery, when a man assaulted him and then made off with the postbag. It is believed the thug had been lying in wait, disguised in builder's clothing and hard hat before the victim was targeted.
The robber got into a white van which was waiting for him on North John Street and the two men drove off towards Victoria Street.
