A MAN is being hunted after a knife-point robbery in Taunton.
Police have issued an e-fit of a man who allegedly threatened a cashier at Henlade Post Office with a knife and took a quantity of cash at around 9am on August 9.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "A man went into the branch and waited while a customer was served.
"As a visitor left the secure cashier area, the man pushed his way in, knocking a staff member over.
"He threatened the cashier with a knife and took a quantity of cash.
"The man then made off on foot through the front door, turning left towards Ilminster Road."
"He was described as about 6ft 2ins tall, with a beard said to be as if he hadn’t shaved for a few days, and ‘blotchy’ skin.
"He wore a hat with flaps over the ears and dark coloured gloves and a dark coloured cardigan."
Anyone who recognises the man from this description or the e-fit is asked to get in touch online, or by calling 101, quoting reference 5217181819.
