A ROBBERY left a Cudworth newsagent with cuts and bruises after he bravely tried to tackle two assailants who made off with his till drawer and takings on Wednesday evening.
Ian Sanders, 68, owner of Haworth News on Pontefract Road, immediately challenged two men who came into his shop with hoods up and faces covered at about 5pm on Wednesday.
“I clocked them straight away, and I challenged them to identify themselves,” said Ian.
“I told them they’d have to go somewhere else if they wanted to buy anything, but the one nearer the counter said ‘I’m having it anyway’.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
