Granny chases off gem raiders with her handbag; plus vigilante heroes video special
A woman in her 70s managed to avert a jewellery store robbery by taking on the six armed thieves with her handbag.
When the unnamed OAP saw a group of men smashing the Norhampton-based shop's windows and helping themself to the jewellery inside, she ran over and started clobbering them with her bag. Baffled and concerned things would escalate, the six men tried to flee but one fell of his bike. Vigilante granny laid into him, despite him swinging a hammer at her, until other members of the public ran over and helped her. Brilliantly, the whole thing was caught on video by a bystander.
Police managed to arrest four men in connection with the raid.
Let's take a moment to salute some other anonymous heroes:
Everyone credits Gandhi with popularising the non-violent way of dealing with force in others, but were his methods as hilariously smooth as this trouser-tugging hero's? Damn right they weren't.
Nothing was going to stop this motorcyclist as he made his getaway after pinching a woman's bag. Except, evidently, a bicycle to the face.
Man tries to rob shop. Man gets chased off by samurai sword-wielding owner. Man buys new underwear.
In Australia, thieves wielding machetes try to rob a bar full of bikes. Needless to say, they won't be trying that again in a hurry.
