Robbers have struck at a post office in Burley-in-Wharfedale, near Ilkley.

Police have cordoned off Main Street following the raid, which is believed to have happened at about 5pm. A section of Grange Park is also said to have been cordoned off.

One woman resident said police had made one arrest at the scene and were searching for a second suspect.

She said: “I can’t get to my house. And it looks like they are not letting people through the cordon, so people cannot get in or out of their homes.”
