A WOMAN has been charged with theft and wasting police time following investigations into an apparent robbery at a Post Office in Ardrossan.

The woman, aged 44, was arrested last week, police confirmed to the Herald.

The arrest comes more than two months after an extensive appeal from CID in Saltcoats in connection to an alleged robbery in which it was alleged that a man got away with a five-figure sum.

A spokesperson for the Crown Office said: “The Procurator Fiscal received a report concerning a 44-year-old woman in connection with alleged offences in January 2017.”

“The accused was liberated from custody and did not appear in court. 

“The case against her remains live and under consideration.”
