A 22-year-old man and a 26-year-old man have been arrested in connection with the armed robbery of a village hall post office in Fiskerton on the morning of Tuesday, February 10.

The men were arrested in Gainsborough and, at the time of writing, are in police custody where they will be interviewed.

As previously reported, officers were called to the Fiskerton Village Hall post office after a man robbed a quality of cash from the premises, armed with what looked like a gun.

We have had a number of officers involved in the operation that has led to these arrests and it has caused some real disruption for the community.
