Default Caught a thief the otherday

Ive just got back to my place in Germany and thought id share a lil story with you all.

Me n Mrs Tankie were shopping at Tescos (Bushey Arches, Watford) for some top wine and beers. Leaving the shop with said purchases the wife says look at that guy running away from the security guy, at that time a red vauxhall cav decides to back out of its carpark space nearly running myself and missus tankie down.

Needless to say this upset me a little.

So upon instructing missus Tankie to "hold the shopping darling".

I chased said bad guy up and down the carpark a few times untill the red cav tried to run me down!

I avoided this little manouver and managed to still chase the baddy.

He then changed direction running right toward me throwing a punch to my stomach as i tried to grab him.
This threw him a little off balance and i saw a window of opertunitiy to take him down.

So with a tackle, him face into the tarmac. My knee to his ***** and swiftly placing him into a choke hold the thieving scumbag was handed over to the security guards and the ol bill.

I picked my self up dusted myself down and enquired about a reward of a pounds worth of pick n mix. LOL

I wouldnt recommend this to just anybody but it did feel good.
Although my training did play a fairly large part in it.

Mrs Tankie said afterwards, "what if he had a weapon" PC brigade recruit i think.

Well so what if it happens it happens, hopefully this scumbag will be re educated by big bubba in the nick, and maybe he will think again before trying to rob again.



I thought id post it up before Shescooby did and take the ****

and dont mention the calipers Karyn

Hi to the two FTO boys who were watching on, Nice motor by the way mate

I dont think theyd hold it against me, Its more of an automated response than a pre planned attack!

Well i hope thats the way they see it.
