a grocer scares off her robber for the second time

This surprising story has been on everyone’s lips since Christmas Day, during which the drama unfolded. This December 25, in the village of Champ-du-Boult (Calvados), while the grocer’s son walks his pet in front of the store, a fifty-something threatens him with a pistol, demanding that he give him the cigarettes of the shop. “My son rushes in and tells me ‘mom is calling the police, because we’ve just been held up'”, testifies the grocer. Panicked, she leaves her shop and throws herself on the robber to disarm him.

Five years ago, the manager of the bar had already been the victim of a first robbery on the premises of her store. While she was holding an infant in her arms, a hooded man entered, threatening her with a gun and asking her to give her the contents of the crate. After unloading the baby, the store manager tried to disarm her attacker, who fled in the face of an unexpected response.
