Meat-cleaver wielding raider seen off by brave shop staff
A meat cleaver wielding would-be robber did not get any money from a betting shop after staff stood up to his demands.
Shortly after 9.30pm on Sunday, October 9, a man went into BetFred, in the Dronfield Civic Centre, carrying a meat cleaver.
A Derbyshire Police spokesman said: “He demanded cash but staff at the shop refused and the man left empty-handed, leaving the cleaver behind.”
