A suspect has been charged with robbery after a post office worker was attacked and threatened during a raid.

Cash was stolen from a till at Broomfield Post Office in Margate Road, Herne Bay, during the incident on Saturday evening.

A member of staff, who was working at the time, says she was left traumatised by the assault, in which a man allegedly grabbed and threatened her.

Jon Pughe, of Clifftown Gardens in Herne Bay, was later arrested in relation to the incident.

Police have now revealed that the 41-year-old has been charged with one count of robbery.

He has been remanded in custody to appear at Folkestone Magistrates' Court today.
