A Galashiels man has been remanded in custody after being charged with a post office robbery in the town earlier this month.

Jordan Renwick, is accused of assaulting a 33-year-old employee and stealing a four figure sum, following an incident at the Gala Park Post Office in Balmoral Place, Galashiels.

The 24-year-old is also charged with robbing a 61-year-old male customer.

Renwick faces a third charge of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug.

He made no plea or declaration and was fully committed when he appeared in private at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.

Bail was refused and Renwick was remanded in custody by Sheriff Peter Paterson.

His next court appearance is on a date still to be confirmed.
