Lidl Finglas robbed this afternoon

maringo

Was in the shop this afternoon and all came to a standstill as it was being robbed. I was near the back of the shop so didn't see anything but heard staff were threatened with a shotgun and a hammer. Hope the b's are caught soon :mad:

What did you buy? Anything nice?

You "missed" it?

You mean you were hiding behind a box of cornflakes?

Heard they took a box of Salamies and an angle grinder.

Did you not hear them shout "move an ill blow ur head off ye c unt ye" "put the money in the bag now".

How in gods name did you miss an armed robbery in a shop you were in??

You know if you point a shotgun in someones face they probably get the idea and you don't have to say much

Were they made move to the little counter at the end of the checkouts to fill the bags with money?

maringo

Wasn't anywhere near the tills so it was over before I heard about it when I ambled down to the checkouts. It's hard to see through the back of me head!

Did they ask them "cash or Laser"?

Yes because armed robbers go in quiet as mice, smile and walk out. The whole point of the guns and screaming is to intimidate people!

Kop on man!

If your monicle does fall out, may I suggest that you take your head out of your arse as well?

I'm actually surprised they found someone behind the checkout to rob in Lidl.

Sounds like a heist from GTA 5, the lads bought it just for the practice

That was me and my bud. If I had known a fellow boardsie was in the shop, you could have got your shopping for free.

Not really one to brag about down the pub tho..

"whatcher do today?"

"robbed a Lidl".


"Hah. Ghey".

kneemos

Wouldn't be my first choice,too many potential blockages in the car park,too many witnesses and cameras and probably don't leave much in the till anyway.

Banjo String

Amateurs.

They should have robbed Tesco, the goods would have been about 70% more expensive.

Lapin

Very unusual for Finglas.

Such a quiet leafy suburb where nothing like this ever happens.

it wasnt a bag, it was a cardboard box off the shop floor.

And they nearly got caught because they waited a half hour for the tills to be opened??

The Backwards Man

They took the 'More Bang For Your Buck' slogan a bit too literally.

Police say the raiders entered the building looking for the shops cash takings, and left an hour later with an under sink self assembly bathroom cabinet, a pair of fishing waders, a talking weighing scales and some compression underwear.
