  • CCTV footage shows the moment a machete thug tried to rob a store, before being trapped inside by a heroic shopkeeper and brave passers-by.
    The knifeman was caught on camera storming into Taas Express with another armed accomplice in Smethwick, West Midlands on 18 April.
    The video shows him demanding “We’re going to stab you up, give me the f***ing money” while his accomplice begins helping himself to items from the shelves.
    However, a quick-thinking staff member leaps around the counter and out of the store before pulling the door tightly shut behind to trap the robbers.
    West Midlands Police said a 17-year-old boy was later arrested on suspicion of robbery and bailed pending further inquiries.

    The legend has it that police are still on the way to arrest them.

    Is it not true that they clever enough not to say anything bad about trans people, this way they know the police won't bother trying to find them?

      Even with the edit that reads like you were having a stroke whilst writing that. Are you okay?

      @@Scarlet_Soul Yes, did screw it up a bit and thanks for caring enough to see if I was having a stroke. Did you know that people can have mini strokes without even knowing? And thanks for sharing ☺️
