'Little old lady' holds up post office

Police are hunting an elderly lady who tried to hold up a Post Office in an attempted armed robbery.

The pensioner, described as a "little old lady" aged between 65 and 70 years old, pulled out a knife, threatened the cashier and demanded money in the shop in Northenden, Manchester.

But she shuffled off empty handed when staff activated the store's alarm.

The suspect is described as being white and about 5ft 2inches tall. She was of medium build, had dark hair and was wearing a purple jacket.
