LEFTY478 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 A gutsy poppy-wearing pensioner foiled a raid on a jewellery shop when he ripped the balaclava off a hoodie wielding a sledgehammer. The elderly man wrestled the robber and unmasked him, shocking the offender and his accomplice so much that they discarded their weapons and fled empty-handed. The man, who appeared to be in his 70s or 80s, was the only person who intervened despite a crowd of 50 onlookers standing by. More >>here<< Could he qualify for a Queen's Commendation for Bravery? Why yes! Yes he could; especially if enough people were to e-mail his Mayor: Councillor Helen Lee-Parsons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
