Grandma Beats Robbers With Handbag

Caught on Camera:

A 75-year-old woman in the United Kingdom showed amazing bravery when she used her handbag to beat six men involved in a smash-and-grab robbery at a Northampton jewelry store.

As the jewelry store employees frantically try to close automatic shutters on the store windows, the robbers smash the storefront glass with sledgehammers while accomplices wait on motorcycles. As the men begin to grab jewelry and Rolex watches, the elderly woman runs into the picture and starts bashing the robbers on the head with her handbag.

Thanks to grandma, police were able to apprehend four of the suspects and are seeking the other two.

The woman does not want to be identified but told a UK news service that she was concerned that so many people were standing by and doing nothing, so she got involved.
