'Footage capturing the moment 6 robbers attempt a smash and grab raid at a jewellery shop in Northampton - only to be stopped by a pensioner fending them off with her handbag. The six robbers on mopeds smashed the shop windows with sledgehammers at 9:30 this morning. The pensioner saw them in the distance and ran at the helmeted group and in an act of bravery, attacked them with her handbag. Police arrested a man who was held by the public at the scene and have since made four more arrests.'I am not sure if what that elderly lady did was brave or foolhardy but it is noticeable that nobody else did anything other than stand and watch until she got involved; what does that tell us?
