74-Year-Old Holds Up Halifax

Apr 17 2007 Published by admin under Uncategorized

Yesterday, at about 16:50, a 74-year-old man walked into the Halifax branch in Dorchester, Dorset, and announced that he was carrying a gun. After demanding money from the Halifax employees, he took the money and attempted to flee. Local police soon arrived on the scene, eye-witnesses reported seeing many police cars, sniffer dogs, and a police helicopter scouring the area for the bandit pensioner.

The man was arrested, and is currently being held in custody. I hear people talking of police states and big brother watching us constantly, but this chief managed to fully hold up a bank, mid-west style, and not only that, but they actually handed over the money.

And it’s doubly reassuring to know that sniffer dogs, multiple police cars, and a police helicopter were necessary to catch a 74-year-old man.

Of course, Wessex FM were on the case instantly, providing local news to local people, with an in-depth report into the situation, as it was unfolding. Wait, my apologies, Wessex FM still hadn’t even mentioned what had happened until a day later, despite the fact that their main building is situated a maximum of 200 metres away from where the incident took place. Let’s hear it for cutting edge journalism!
