THE owners of a village post office in Spaxton were praised by a Crown Court judge for their courage in refusing to give in to an armed robber.
Andrew Lamb. 30, of Knightsbridge Way, Bridgwater, was found guilty of attempted robbery after he burst into the Four Forks post office on July 20 last year and demanded cash.
But owners Shirley and Geoffrey Scriven, bravely refused to hand over money to Lamb, who was wearing a balaclava and was armed with a knife.
