SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SAVES FAMILY FROM ATTACKERS BROADBEND, Sussex (March 10) A seven-year- old boy, Charles Robbins, stopped some robbers at home. While the robbers were threatening his parents, he locked himself in the bathroom with his little sister and called the police. You can hear the conversation in a copy of the police tape. The boy talked about his frightening experience to news reporters this afternoon. While he and his little sister were playing in the garden, the boy realised something unusual was going on. “I saw a strange man. He was standing in the street. Then I looked into the kitchen, and I saw two other men. They were pointing their guns at my mum and dad. My mum and dad were putting their hands up and their heads down.” “I grabbed mum’s phone, took my sister and ran to the bathroom. I locked the door and I phoned the police.” While he was talking to the police, one of the robbers broke down the door and grabbed the phone. When the boy told them he was speaking to the police, the 20 25 30 35 robbers escaped. They didn’t injure anyone, and they didn’t take any property. During the news conference, the boy was wearing a police helmet that the police gave him for being brave. |
