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.”

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

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

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.
