Subject: Thieves blunder into biker meeting

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:39:59 02/28/08 Thu When two armed thieves decided to raid a club in Sydney, they could not have made a worse choice. When they burst into the building, armed with machetes, they found themselves blundering in on the regular meeting of the Southern Cross Cruising Club, a 50-strong bike club enjoying a drink! Club president Jerry Cornewal said “The robbers came into the club and ordered people to lie on the floor. But they did not notice us having a drink in the auditorium nearby. Fifty of us jumped out of our seats and raced out to the main bar”. Club founder Noel Mannix added "It was very hard to see the expression on their faces because of the balaclavas, but I imagine it was something along lines of 'Oh shit, what have we done here?' " On seeing the approaching group, the robbers fled, hotly pursued by the bikers. Mr Cornewal himself managed to cut off one of the gang by taking a shortcut “He came out the door wielding what I thought was a tyre lever, but was actually a samurai sword. I raced in and tackled him to the ground, footy-style, onto the concrete". Mr Cornewal and two other bikers tied up the thief and waited for police to arrive. Police soon located the other robber nearby. The two men have been charged with attempted robbery. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
