Watch: Shop Owner Jumps On Armed Robber's Back
Friday, 18th December 2015 22:05
Police have released CCTV footage which shows a machete-wielding robber being tackled by one of his victims - bringing a gang's 11-month campaign of violent raids to an end.
Dominic Carr, who owns a jewellery store on London's Liverpool Street, grappled with one of the gang members, Alex Parle, as he tried to flee the scene on a moped.
Moments earlier, two fellow robbers used sledgehammers to smash into glass cabinets and steal luxury watches worth £222,000.
The business owner managed to jump on the thief's back after a plain-clothes police officer thwarted their escape on two mopeds by parking across the road - leaving Parle with no choice but to run after the getaway vehicles.
