UK Bat-Wielding Robber Caught on Camera
A UK robber stormed an electronic cigarette shop with a bat and left with cash, caught on surveillance video.

Recently, a robber wielding a bat rushed into an electronic cigarette shop in the UK. Surveillance footage captured him entering the Rexham store and threatening frightened employees before grabbing the cash and fleeing the scene.


A robber conducted a heist at an electronic cigarette store near Borras Park Road in March of this year. After he was detained, the Royal Prosecutor's Office released a complete video of the incident.


In the footage, he is seen wearing a red jacket as he enters the store and pulls out a weapon, described earlier at a court hearing as a short wooden "baseball bat." He then proceeds to the cashier and pushes a button to open the register. As he reaches into the cash drawer, the female sales clerk reaches under the counter to activate a silent alarm. After taking the money, he stuffs it into his pocket and flees the store. The robbery has been reported to the authorities, and he is quickly apprehended and arrested.


After refusing to leave his prison cell, he has been incarcerated since his trial and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison on September 1st in absentia. The verdict also includes an order from supervising judge Niclas Parry of the Crown Court to confiscate all his cash and destroy any weapons.
