Mrs Mop turns tables on robbers
A Romanian Mrs Mop who
wrestled a crowbar from two crooks and used it to beat them over the head until
they fled is to get a bravery award after her efforts were recorded on
CCTV.
Nicoleta Hurjui, 38, who had been cleaning at the bar in Suceava,
eastern Romania, in the early hours of the morning said: "I heard a noise and
when I opened the door I saw two men in the hall with a crowbar. I grabbed it
and started hitting them with it. I got in a few good blows before they ran
off."
Police are now hunting the pair using the CCTV images caught on
tape, and say the plan to give the cleaner a bravery award.
A spokesman
for Suceava police said: "We don't usually encourage have a go heroes but on the
tape you can see the thieves will think twice before doing it again."
