An armed robber hit a post office in Weymouth on Wednesday, but police are searching as far as Bournemouth and Poole for the man they think is responsible.

Dorset detectives have released a description of twenty-five year old Colin Douglas, who's white, six foot, with short dark hair and a tiger tattoo on his left arm.

After the robbery, the suspect threatened a police officer with a gun.

Members of the public are advised not to approach Douglas, but simply let Police know if they see him.
