Moment have-a-go hero shopkeeper traps machete-wielding robbers inside shop
Police are hunting two men, after a have-a-go hero shop worker foiled machete wielding robbers by trapping them in his store.
#Birmingham #Machete #UK
The shocking incident took place in the Smethwick area of Birmingham earlier this month, when a gang entered a convenience store and threatened staff with a large knife.
Dramatic CCTV footage of the attempted robbery showed one of the masked men demanding money from the till while threatening to stab the shopkeeper.

@@gelbsucht947Three Weeks later
Police still on their way.............
@@TikeAlpha’what 3 words’???
i suppose the cops were busy looking for online hate crimes
My thoughts exactly 💯
Hate speech from the "far left" is more important for the police
Totally 💯
Pronoun investigations.
Perhaps they were busy babysitting the pro hamas rallies 🤷♂️
A community support officer will be visiting tomorrow to check if any hate language was used by the shopkeeper.
Lmaooo
Lol
AH! Anarchy, hilarious ☺️
😂
Your a loser
No praise for the guy who came and helped the shopkeeper get the door shut? That guy might have saved his life.
There was also a dog barking and no mention of that heroic effort either …
That machete could have been killed
Well done, Mr. Shopkeeper, for demonstrating such remarkable bravery.
He is called brave, but he is actually the sacrifice of your liberal system not punishing criminals enough. This is why all the shops will close in big cities.
@@chanjackie2299The reason shops will close down in cities is because of Amazon. This behaviour is disgusting.
@boobopish People buy their convenience grocery on the fly at Amazon ?
That was his dad 😅
💯💯
They needed money to fund their oxford law degee
I doubt they are studying law, wielding a machete the way he was I think he is studying to be a doctor.
And to feed their families in Gaza {sarcasm alert}
How can they study law with no brain cells
@@stevesinclair4159 It's more likely that it's to feed Hamas. Allah will be pleased with them, theirs is a religion of peace. It's what hsppens when the rif-raf are allowed into this country

The police were busy dealing with someone who posted an upsetting meme.
police went after Joey Barton
The criminals want to express their thanks to the police for their quick response.
maybe if the tories didnt cut the police budget there would be more police available?
In this situation, it's impossible to have the police arrive in an instant. There's going to be a short delay no matter what.
They just happen to be wearing the same colour and brand of clothing... attempted robbery with violence..using a lethal weapon...ten years .
@MrMiller-vc5rvbut it says this happened in Birmingham
Deport immediately
Too bad the Police were busy. Apparently they were attending to a report of serious misgendering...
@@DavidBrown-sr8di Back to Harlem!
@@DavidBrown-sr8di Considering the suspect appears to have a Brummy accent, one would suggest deportation to Birmingham would have little efficacy.
Police too busy bashing St George's day revellers
@nanunanu You’d not be too far from the truth there 🤔
and monitoring mean tweeters
St.George, that's the bloke most Brits deny is a saint from Palestine, isn't it?
@@hopsta5628 He was a Cappadocian Greek Christian, If most Brits deny he was from Palestine, It's probably because he wasn't.🙄
@@hopsta5628 Yep, funny how quite a few xenophobes like to cover themselves in Saint George cross without realising that he was a foreigner!
The shopkeer should have posted a mean tweet. The police would be there in half a second.
Cowards. Big clue when searching for suspects, cannot speak without interjecting “bro” every other word.
And the cops never showed up. But, they would have arrested the shopkeeper for wrongful imprisonment.
Zing!!! That should be pinned.

Cops in the UK and in the US are conforming to the same agenda, of course.
spot on
Police must have been too busy policing social media that day.
They were taking care of important stuff, somebody called somebody a mean name so they sent in the hate crime swat division.
Yep, waiting for someone to insult islam.
@@andyward8430 Hillary had called and said she was getting mean tweets. So nobody was available.

Police are attending to reports of someone walking around the city with a Union Jack flag.

Where are the slow useless cops? Oh never mind!!!
Working on their TikTok dance routine.
if they did turn up they would be let go without a warning. but white English your nicked 10 years behind bars.
They were at a month long seminar on diversity and get in touch with your feminine side training
Assisting the protesters of love and harmony, who just happen to be doctors, engineers or scientists
Too busy trawling facebook for hurty comments!
If they’d been waving the England flag at that shopkeeper, there would have been 15 coppers surrounding the shop within minutes.
hahah TRUE
Or if they were being blatantly Jewish and wanting to cross the street.
Exactly
They are the type to join the EDL!
😂😂😂
Up date: Police have charged the shop keeper for inciting this attempted robbery by putting in an honest days work.
I've seen videos of the UK in the 1960s...it looked amazing! 60 years later, it's become a warzone. So sad.
I wonder what went wrong...
Libs.
They used to say it was The Beatles' fault back then
“Looked” anazing, yeah they aren’t gonna film or the ghettos and people living in abject squalor back then, even in the 70s things looked worse than they do now
Police were all occupied on stakeout at the Bullring after reports that a man was considering unfurling a St George flag.
St George was a Palestinian Canaanite Arab. He wasn't English mate. Racism and hate is a disease that need mental health services.
When seconds matter, the police are only hours away.
That is a joke about American cops. With these British cops they are days away if they feel like getting around to it.
Should the police stand outside every shop ? Smh
@@bossman4401 No, but they should at least show up
Police making sure it's safe before getting involved.
Best comment so far 😂 because its true!
Can't get police there for another 2 hours. They got to 2 old grannies with English flags giving them trouble down at Sainsbury's.😊😊😊😊
Only thing "disturbing" about this video is that the shop keeper's only defence is the hope the attacker doesn't really want to use his machete....
The extra disturbing part comes at the end with the “police are looking after the 2 suspects”. How inepts lol
What other defense would there be?

Middles east city now
@@pauld6400It would be more accurate to call it the Middle East dump because Middle Eastern cities are safer than anywhere in the United Kingdom.
@@ArazQizilbashThen why don't they stay in the middle east?!
@@v-town1980 Corrupt governments in the Middle East and states whose extremist policies are used as a cover for their own theft make the Middle East uninhabitable for honorable and enlightened people. On the other hand, human rights and proportionate punishment system in the West make the West attractive for criminals. If Europe and the United Kingdom give residence to 10 people, 8 of them are unqualified and criminal individuals. As a Middle Easterner, I live far away from the uneducated and criminal immigrants in Europe and have zero relationships.
If the shopkeeper called my granny she would’ve been there before the police
So the guy with his HOOD UP & FACE COVERED & dressed EXACTLY like the suspect was just an INNOCENT CUSTOMER? CRIMINALS ARE SO DUMB.. 🤦♀️🤡👿💔
And he was stealing 😂
And criminals love them saggin pants.
And holding the door

Shopkeeper is still waiting for police to arrive. Next time when he calls them, just say there's someone calling a trans woman a man, they will be there in no time.
😂😂,😂😂
The British government viewing this will determine the big knife is the one at fault. And if that particular big knife is outlawed , crime will just go away.
ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!
😂 👍
Khan will recruit the knife wielder for his Londonistan gang.
The fruits of living in a diverse and vibrant community
Wouldn't be surprised if the shopkeeper is being held by police on charges of false imprisonment........
The police: By appointment only.
The alleged perpetrators have been detained and are receiving counseling for any trauma they may have experienced during their unlawful detention by shopkeeper.
They escaped.

From the peace brigade spreading their love in London and Birmingham. What a gift to this country…
Shocked they ain’t steal the alcoholic instead demanded money
Super brave & strong. That glass was 50% shattered at the end.
Imagine if a shopkeeper was allowed to be armed to defend themselves from robbers and crazy people.

As an American, seeing a bunch of masked up hooligans demand money from your register with a machete is laughable to me 😅. Those clowns are lucky they are in the UK and not Texas. Great job to the shop keeper!
Yeah right, how many times did the world see those same thugs enter your supermarkets unarmed and leaving with full caddies without anyone reacting... Give us a break with so-called american bravery.
as an American, but California & NYC exist.
@@RenoLaringo Those rampant thefts are in cities predominately in California and New York. Americans do not recognize those states as part of the U.S. 😂😂
@@RenoLaringo not in Texas 🤠
In Texas the hooligans would have swapped their machete for a pistol, don'cha reckon?
My 75 year old dad recently got a traffic fine for accidentally going a bus lane white line as he was turning left at a legitimate junction. He got a £70 fine - the first one in his life. These clowns attack someone and try to rob a shop with a machete and the police dont even show up. This is why there is so much crime in the UK now, there is zero police presence and no deterrent.
shopkeeper showed such hateful behavior.. cops must arrest him...
This is like a comedy sketch

Even the thief was waiting for cops. He didn't want to stay there for longer than needed
What’s unbelievable is that the police did not get there in time. Truly. Also, any grown man calling anybody else “Bro” should be sent to prison anyway 😂
Diversity in action! lovely
They were white attacking Asian shop?
Of course WHITE people are never in gangs and violent are they????

Update from the police: we have reviewed the images and since no one was injured, this is not a case for the police.
Funny thing is this actually happened to me. The people who lived in my old house weren't paying rent and where complete junkies. A fight happened and they had gangs come and police was called but because nothing happened they didn't come lmao. They will only come when someone dies from a attack

10 years hard labour. No work, no food. Only yesterday I saw a clip of 'diverse' shoplifters sweeping handfuls of goods into a sports bag while female assistants stood back, helpless. I remember boys in school being sent to approved school for stealing a jar of sweets!!!
The workers are told not to intervene. Besides, with lib laws, the victims are guilty if they try to stop thieves.
Look how these none English people who have immigrated to England are enriching this community, isn’t it beautiful. The government are so right to keep inviting masses of these people over, they are just so nice, we as English people love them.
Of course, a police response would have been nice, but unfortunately someone said something mean about a bloke in a dress, and the police were forced to respond immediately to that "hate crime".
Police; We cant answer the phone right now somebody has been seen waving an England Flag 😔😃
"Two men from this incident are being sought by West Midlands Police..." ...so that an apology can be properly offered.
Locking the door just because someone wields a machete is so out of proportion!
His pal just threw him under bus saying I’m not with him 😂
"I'm not with him ...I'm a customer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣Thas my favorite part
How stupid the cops couldn’t show up fast enough to get those guys??
the cops are more interested in hurty words these days
Yep, total shame the police have to use cars which take time and not transporters
Yeah maybe they leant their teleportation device to another police force
They're cowards anyway. They only show up to arrest people praying or peacefully waving their little union jacks

Pathetic isn’t it
And that’s why there is a second amendment in the US.
A second amendment to the US constitution
Yeah a second amendment, is why robbery turn up armed. And holding a door shut can thwart a crime obviously!!!
@MrMiller-vc5rvthe amendments list all the rights the govt can't take away from citizens, aka "the bill of rights", like free speech, right to firearms, protection from unreasonable search and seizure, right to jury trial, protection from cruel and unusual punishment... They've basically been trying and succeeding in eroding them all. It says the govt doesn't grant these rights, they're given to us by God and the govt can't pass any law, but they violate them anyway.
And that's why in the UK - desperate acts like this don't end up with shots fired in all directions, lethal wounds, and people facing the prospect of becoming murderers just to defend property. Had the robbers and the shopkeeper all had firearms - this could have been a lot worse for all involved.
@@SpecBASStuff🙄
Taking a brief elective from their surgical training, no doubt.

1:14 is he saying “I need to go home “ 😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂
They were caught like 5 minutes after this....the guy without the machete spilled everything 😂
Cops were practicing the Macarena
Still wearing their lifejackets.

Open door immigration!
I'm just.a customer who happens to be clothes-matching with the robber! 😉
Not him holding his friend hostage 💀🤣
bet the police turned up the next day
Notice the acabs only around and turn up when they can collect revenue policing only for financial gain lock up the food in shops and let the thieves go free@robbatr7131
Very unlikely they would be that quick.
That must of been tough for the owner who was 1} defending his business and life but 2)watching the robbers wreck his store while awaiting police response.
What ever happened to “only convicts and fugitives go unarmed “
