What a brave woman! 💪
if arrested for armed robbery you are a danger to the public. stop protecting them and release their names.
Bring back the cane for both the kids and parents. The present system of softly softly does not seem to work.
truly AMAZING response of the POLICE. N O T to have CHARGED the shopkeeper with F A L S E IMPRISONMENT.
police and our hopeless laws will put him back in street less than 48 hours this country belong to criminals just look at London crime rates murder rates rape rates as there is hardly any consequence it’s no fear they call uk 🇬🇧 Mecca for crimes and criminals

Excellent work! Leave them in there and forget about them
scum at 14 already!
If he 14 then assume she will be punished for scaring & imprisoning a minor. My niece was sacked for telling a child that had attacked classmates for 9th time that he was naughty & lead him out the room as it upset him. Just wait for parent/s to sue. That the way things r today.
What a heroine! An example to everyone.
Well played madam. 👏👍
Looks like my retirements going to be rough 😥
Love wee story this, with that feel good factor happy ending! The perpetrators will get to spend Easter at home opening their Easter eggs... 🤐👎
Well done👏🏽!!.. BUT don’t put you or your family at risk., could’ve had a knife and seriously hurt you.. Too soft on kids, send them to army boot camp for 6months, teach them some manners
Well done to her. But 14. What on earth is going on?
Go girl !!! Reward her !!!
Fair play to her.
Good for her. Glad she turned out okay, for sure.
The robbers were 14!? What’s going on? Where are their parents?!
