Police are hunting a masked robber who struck at a North Dorset estate agent’s office in broad daylight.
The raider was wearing a dark scarf and balaclava when he burst into Chaffers in Blandford.
The raider threatened staff before fleeing with an undisclosed sum of money. No one was hurt in the raid.
Chaffers acts as an agent for the Yorkshire Building Society.

Check back the list of HIP providers that have dealt with the victim over the past few years...the only difference is the mask...
Back in the day, when I was an Agent, we had a nutty old woman who used to shoplift window cards from us...
I was requested to appraise her property (prior to her being carted away by the Ga-Ga police) - there were flippin' DOZENS of them lying about, all over the place, going back a decade or more!
Her criminal actions didn't stop us selling anything, of course ;0)
And no-one was ever hurt in her repeated raids either...
Im not sure what a theif would get from us, the petty cash tin has about £24 in it.
It is a well known fact that burglaries robberies and crime increase during periods of hardship and recession.
dreadfull for the staff, 10 years ago our halifax agency was done it was very frightning.
