Another Armed Raid in Bettystown

Last month raiders stole 70 grand from the post office in Bettystown before being apprehended (though the money hasn't been recovered). Last night, Harry's Supermarket in Mornington was held up at gunpoint. I walked in myself to get some money from the ATM and had just missed the robbers by 5 minutes. All the staff were gibbering wrecks, except for one, Harry's son, John, who'd thought it was good idea to jump into the supermarket van and give chase.

Clearly the perpetrators were amateurs, because they only emptied the tills and didn't even think about breaking into the ATM. Good thing too: I needed cash to top up my mobile.

Probably use the proceeds to buy houses in Altrincham
