Shoppers nab bank robber (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/shoppers-nab-bank-robber/2008/12/29/1230399119605.html)
I think [robbers] could probably pick softer targets in Sydney," Inspector Wayne McMahon told reporters outside the bank.
"Out here, these people work hard for their money and they don't like seeing people take it and threaten staff."
...
"It's a fantastic testament to the local people here of the Plumpton and Mount Druitt area that people wanted to get involved," Inspector McMahon said.
A 20-year-old man from the Plumpton area is expected to be charged with robbery offences.
"This is a serious matter. It constitutes an armed robbery," Inspector McMahon said.
"Certainly in the minds of the staff here at the bank, the [man] was armed, and numerous passers-by believed that to be the case.
"It was only after and upon his arrest they discovered he did not have a weapon in his custody."
Some good news to come out of MD... the world does send up surprises now and then.
