The two youths who stormed into a Yeovil post office armed with what was thought to have been a firearm, were still at large when The Clarion went to press.
It was on Wednesday last week the incident happened at Westfield Post Office in Coronation Avenue.
Threats were made but a staff member quickly activated an alarm system, which made the two youths leave the scene.
One of them wore the kind of mask featured in the film Scream. Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
