A man was charged last night in connection with a Post Office robbery in Northern Ireland.

It followed a major investigation by police in Strabane, Co Tyrone where a five-figure sum was stolen after two women were kidnapped last October.

The 21-year-old man was accused of unlawful imprisonment, armed robbery, kidnapping and hijacking.

Police said he would appear before a Omagh Magistrates Court today.
