Robber's silent threat to staff


20/12/2007

A ROBBER chose a sinister but silent method to frighten a cashier in an attempt to get his hands on a mobile phone and cigarettes.

The man had approached the woman cashier at AJ’s Off-licence on Haifax Road, Smallbridge, on Tuesday night.

But instead of telling her his demands he simply passed a note over the counter which stated he would shoot her in the chest if she did ‘anything stupid’.

“You know what I want, put it in the bag,” it went on to read.

The offender then escaped with the woman‘s Samsung mobile phone and some packets of cigarettes, worth a total of £15.

He is described as Asian, about 6ft tall, slim and in his mid to late 20s. He wore dark clothes, including a top with a hood up and a scarf wrapped around his face.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police on 0161 8725050 or Crimestoppers, for free and in confidence, on 0800 555111.

   I think anglo saxon seriosly needs a sense of humour by-pass and fast. Dont you think this "SCREAM OF RASISM" is wearing a bit thin in this pc correct country these days?

One cannot make a joke without people like anglo spitting his dummy out.

Grow up.
