Gun gang hold up popular pub

Aug 28 2008 by Roy Wright, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

GUN-WIELDING robbers forced a terrified manageress to open a pub safe before fleeing with thousands of pounds.

Mr Mydlowski, of Brighouse, said they eventually ripped the keys from the manageress and got into the safe before swiping bundles of cash.

He said: “It happened really fast. It was all over in a matter of minutes.”

“When it all ended they said: ‘No-one look at us. If you try and follow us we will take pot shots at you.’

“You can look back now and laugh about it almost, but it’s a serious matter.

“The manageress took the brunt of it and she was really upset. But at least no-one got hurt.

“They obviously came for cash, not to hurt anyone.”
