Betting Shop Counter Set Alight By Robber Who Was Refused Cash.
Betting Shop Counter Set On Fire By Robber
I wrote the other day about The Huddersfield Bookie Shop Jack Pearson's being robbed at gunpoint if you recall. The report about a Masked Gunman Robbing A Betting Shop was well timed because The BBC television crime fighting programme called Crimestoppers are appealing for information alongside the police for someone to come forward regarding a robber setting a betting shop counter on fire when the bookie staff refused to hand over cash.
The robber who was caught on closed curcuit tv cameras, walked into the shop with a knife and a bottle of petrol. He demanded the staff hand over cash but they refused as they were locked safely behind an anti robbery or anti violence shield. Upon this the robber poured the petrol over the counter and lit it.
The counter lit up very quickly and the bookie girls were terrified. Punters need to be made aware the dangers of working in a betting shop and so do the anti online gambling brigade.
Online gambling has it's flaws but you ain't likely to get set on fire or get shot by some lunatic armed robber any time soon right?
