A SECURITY guard was forced to hand over cash bags at gun point in a raid on a Prestwich post office.

Two masked men jumped from a gold coloured Rover car as the cash van pulled up outside the Holyrood Post Office in Bury New Road at 11.35am on Wednesday (Sept 6).

One of the robbers produced a small, black handgun and pointed it at the guard who was forced to hand over several bags containing around £400.
