A judge praised a brave worker for protecting his staff after CCTV footage of the 'shocking viewing' emerged.

The robbers targeted post offices and exchange bureaus across London – including in Croydon, Westminster, Southwark, South Kensington and West Norwood – between October 2017 and February 2018.

Perry and Brown would often wear high-vis jackets to try gain access to buildings by posing as officials.

And once inside the two men would violently assault staff to try steal cash from deposits boxes and safes.

However the pair were arrested shortly after a raid on an exchange bureau London Road in Croydon, south London.

Officers discovered thousands of pounds worth of cash, gold coins and a crow bar with the pair.
