Two armed men who carried out a reign of terror when raiding stores have been jailed. Ian Parkhouse and Anthony Delaney targeted Midlands post offices, including attempting two robberies in the space of one day. One of the instances was while the postmaster was serving a customer in December last year. Parkhouse entered with an imitation gun while Delaney carried an axe and pushed an assistant to the floor. The duo fled the premises when a panic alarm was pressed.
