Bungling robbers fluff attempt to rob bookies
  • 5 years ago
This is the moment a bungling burglar spectacularly failed in an attempt to rob a bookmakers. The footage released on Friday shows Leigh Barry, 28, threatening staff with a pair of garden shears and repeatedly attempting, and failing, to break a pane of glass with a BRICK and a CHAIR. After realising his luck was out, he made a desperate grab for a handful of pound coins on the counter before running off -- although then comically dropped them over the shop floor. Minutes after escaping from the bookmakers in Birmingham, on April 4, Barry, from Chelmsley Wood, West Mids., was arrested by police after passers-by had dialed 999.
