Title: Amish man arrives in Australia Post by: twoiron on August 12, 2008, 02:19:27 PM Pitchfork robber sent packing twice
August 13, 2008 - 7:11AM A would-be robber was thwarted in two attempts at hold-ups in Melbourne last night including one where he went into a shop armed with a pitchfork. Police said the man was disarmed by a customer after brandishing the pitchfork and demanding money in a milk bar in Nicholson Street in Brunswick West shortly before 7pm (AEST). An hour later, this time armed with a metal rod, it's alleged the same man walked into a service station in Moreland Road and again demanded cash. But the service station attendant refused to hand over any money and the man left empty handed. A short time later he was spotted by police, still carrying the metal rod. A 22-year-old man is expected to be charged with two counts of attempted armed robbery and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court today.
