A man who went on the run in Dorset has been charged with a string of offences, including robbery, possessing a firearm, resisting arrest and hijacking a car.

Colin Douglas from Weymouth was finally arrested by armed police, following a high-speed pursuit, two days after an armed robbery at a post office.

He'll appear before magistrates today, and a man and woman have also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
