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 - members of the public are warned not to approach him.

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