never expected to be involved in an armed robbery!

Post by nick euro »

on myway to the northern meet last night, n needed some fuel so i stopped off at the bp in birchwood. waiting behind a car that was getting fuel, when all of a suddern everyone ran back to their cars inc the people who were working at the garage, so i thought this is a bit odd. anyway there was two securitas vans there two which by my shock were being robbed by armed robbers obviously wearing balaclarvers etc. was in shock as i did not expect this to happen at all, so shut my door n locked it. as i watched these stupid men swing about sorn off shot guns etc then sped off in a seat leon cupra :( :censored:
you wouldn't even think this would happen to you but it does and its something that will remain in my memory for a very long time.

What colour or age Leon was it mate?

It seems Leons are increasingly becoming high on the criminal hitlist.

It must've been bloody scary!

Armed robberies are common in Brasil these days. I've never been involved in one but most people have robbery stories to tell.

In a situation like this all you can do is keep calm and, most importantly, DO NOT REACT in any way.
