Sep 8 2010 Huddersfield Daily Examiner
Gurmail Singh
THIS was the dramatic 999 call made to try and save Gurmail Singh.
The call was made by Ruth Stynes, who had gone to help the 63-year-old shopkeeper.
Ruth Stynes: “Can you hurry up please. Cowcliffe Convenience Stores at Fixby.”
Operator: “Have you reported something already?”
Ruth Stynes: “We have got a few lads robbing them. They’re smashing everything up now. We have locked them in the shop and they are...”
Operator: “Right, who has reported this? Have you reported this?”
Ruth Stynes: “Yeah. We are all stood out here in the main road, everybody.
“They’re out! They’re out!
“They’re running down the road now.”
Operator: “Right, I have no idea where you are. What’s your log number?”
Ruth Stynes: “Fixby, outside the Shepherd’s Arms pub at Fixby. Cowcliffe Stores...Get hold of them!”
Operator: “Stop shouting. I need a log number.”
Ruth Stynes: “Sorry, Cowcliffe Convenience Stores. They are running down...you are going to have to hurry up, they are running down towards Bradford Road now.”
After a brief conversation, Ms Stynes is then heard to say: “This is twice this week this man’s been robbed.”
She then says: “Oh, we need an ambulance. They have hurt him.”
