Police have arrested a 52-year-old man from Seaford following an armed robbery in Berwick this afternoon (October 17). Officers were called to Berwick Post Office on Station Road at approximately 3 PM after receiving reports of a robbery.
The suspect fled the scene, and an investigation was immediately launched. Hours later, police apprehended the man, who is also suspected of possessing a firearm. He remains in custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Steve Shimmons stated that no other suspects are being sought at this time. “The investigation is ongoing, but we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection to the robbery.”
Police have assured the community that there will be an increased presence in the area throughout the night for reassurance. “I’d like to thank residents for their patience during the initial stages of this incident,” Shimmons added.
