Handbag hero recounts 'clobbering' jewellery raid gang | UK news | guardian.co.uk
A pensioner caught on video trying to prevent a smash and grab at a Northampton jewellery store has told how she "clobbered" the would-be robbers with her shopping.
Video footage, which has been shared around the world, appears to show three men using sledgehammers to smash the windows of Michael Jones Jewellers while three accomplices wait on getaway scooters. The gang had not counted on the bravery of a slightly built pensioner, however, and the clip shows her swinging her bag at the men, causing one to crash to the ground and be detained by passersby.
