Video Of Shopkeeper Foiling Crossbow Raider
TO the Northern Echo where shopkeeper Mohammed Razaq, of the Kinza store, in Station Road, Norton, near Stockton, has just loaded a DVD for his five children. a man with a crossbow enters.
Says Mr Razaq: “I was in shock and I said to him what are you trying to do?’.
“He pointed the crossbow at me and said I am going to shoot you - get the money out of the till and put it in the bag’. I stayed back in an area where there is a staircase. He just shot the bow, possibly at me. I just heard a big bang.”
He goes on: “He tried to load up the crossbow and I could see a big window pole in front of me, so I grabbed the stick and chased him. I felt he was threatening me and my family and kids, so I just had to do it.
“As soon as he saw me with the stick, he ran like mad. I tried to hit him, but I think I missed.”

aherm!! That ain’t the Northern Echo.
That’s from the Evening Gazette, Middlesbrough.
I know, I served a three year sentence in Borough Road, in another life. Not one day’s remission for good behaviour…so I wasn’t …well behaved.
Nice to see it remains much the same: robbery, murder and strikes. Tessside, the Urban experiment which gave you Thornaby New Town and the Cleveland Child Abuse Report.
The shopkeepers remain much the same.

Bernie The Bolt and his limp cross-bow, I hope the shop-keeper caught up with him and hit him on the bulls eye!

What will they think of next to commit a robbery, a slingshot?
