Robbers early Monday morning forced an entrance into the Angier post office and blew open the safe, securing between $400 and $500 in stamps and about $75 in cash. The safe was moved to the rear of the office and the heavy discharge of explosive, supposed to have been dynamite, was muffled with a bundle of rags. The post office is situated in the main business section of town. The late hour of the robbery allowed the looters to get away without arousing anyone. Detectives are working on clues.
