A man has admitted robbing a post office with an imitation gun - but a court has disputed his claim that the item was a banana in a plastic bag. Ashley Asquith, 42, stole £6,000 from the till during the robbery on Allerton Road in Bradford in February. He pleaded guilty to robbery and possessing an imitation firearm at Bradford Crown Court on Friday, and the court was told that the "weapon" was concealed. However, Asquith said he had admitted the charge on the basis that it was actually a piece of fruit inside the bag.
