Hero Store Owner Fights Off Robbers with Baton

0:00On March 5th, two masked robbers on a moped targeted Garnier Jewelers on the High Street in Hodsten Harderfordshire around 1115am on Monday. One used the chainsaw to cut through the protective glass while the other wielded a machete grabbing five Rolex watches before trying to flee. The store owner, 66-year-old Charles Pringle, who has worked there for 43 years, grabbed the baton and chased the helmeted pair away. Bystanders joined in, throwing a sandwich board and other objects at them to stop the getaway. Pringle called it a traumatic ordeal that left staff, including women, in delayed shock, fueling anger over threats to a lifetime of hard work. The quietown near Brocksborne has seen support pour in from locals and beyond, with flowers and chocolates, though Pringle noted criminals can easily. Reach from London via the A10 and M25. Police recovered the abandoned moped and a helmet nearby on doves we erode, with no injuries reported, despite threats to interveners.
