Burglar trapped under blind while escaping

The incident occurred in the city of Durham, south of the city of Newcastle. The thief, who entered a city market, went to the cashier to steal 6 alcoholic beverages and pulled a knife from the cashier. The Durham Police Department said the robber threatened the teller.

In the security camera footage released, the cashier, who acted faster than the thief, got out and grabbed the door first. The thief tried to open the door. The cashier then began to lower the market blind with the remote control. The burglar forced the door open and slipped under the closing shutter, but got stuck. Later, the police arrived at the scene and arrested the thief.

“IT WAS NOT A DIFFICULT ARREST”

“It has not been a very difficult arrest for us,” Durham Police Service Detective Paul Mawson said in a statement. To be honest, the robbery ended as quickly as it started.

In a statement issued by the Durham Police Department, it was announced that the 30-year-old robber was tried on June 15 and sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison. (DHA)
