A sharp shopkeeper in England held an armed robber hostage under his store's shutters until the police arrived. The robber's comical attempt to escape was captured on CCTV. The intruder, Malcolm Trimble, 30, had walked into the shop, in Durham city,...
Trimble then attempted an Indiana Jones-style slide to avoid the descending shutters, said the Daily Mail.But his timing was bad - before he could break free, he ended up pinned to the floor, with his head inside the shop and his torso in the street.
He was unable to move as his head was pressed against the glass door with the weight of the shutters holding him down. While the shopkeeper called the police, Trimble admitted he had been caught and opened a can of beer while waiting.At Durham Crown Court on June 14, Trimble was jailed for three years and four months after admitting to attempted robbery and possession of a knife.
