A few days ago, there was an armed robbery in the region. Two men were caught stealing sweets from… Lidl. When confronted by a member of staff, one of them whipped out a huge knife and threatened her before running out of the shop with his accomplice to a waiting getaway car: a Mercedes SUV with a Swiss number plate.
Now, I couldn’t have made that up, could I?
To be fair, it turned out the car was stolen too…
UPDATE: And in a strange parallel-universe incident, a conman robbed an Antwerp bank armed only with chocolates...
