Man having a bad day smashes up a bookie

MAN SMASHES UP SHEFFIELD BOOKIES

A man went bezerk in a Sheffield betting shop yesterday afternoon, bullying customers and smashing TV screens.

The man walked into the bookies in Sheffield City Centre at 3.30pm and placed £200 on a horse called Harbour Law running in the 3.45pm at Doncaster at odds of 22/1. The horse won the race and as it crossed the finishing line the man jumped on top of a chair and did a nazi salute. He then barged over to the counter and demanded his money.

A shop worker who has asked not to be named said "His bet paid £4,600 and I had to wait 15 minutes to get the cash out of the safe. While the man was waiting he was throwing pens at customers, scrunching up betting slips and making monkey noises. Eventually I paid him his money and he pulled a £5 note from his winnings, crushed it into a ball and threw it at my head and said "Go and get yourself a drink porky" - he was such a horrible man"

The man continued gambling throughout the afternoon and was repeatedly seen rolling up betting slips and snorting cocaine as bemused customers looked on. Eye witness Dave Nibble said "The man started to lose his money and started getting more and more irate. I saw him lose 1000 in the roulette machine in about 5 minutes. He picked up a chinese customer and threw him out of the shop. The poor bloke landed on top of a moving taxi"

The man placed his last £100 on a dog race and unfortunately his selection was bumped on a corner, finishing the race in last place. The man then punched several TV screens and dived through the main window of the shop before running off down the street.

PC Ken Grobbelaar of South Yorkshire Police said "We are looking for a white man aged between 40-50, approx 5ft in height. He was wearing black leather trousers, a black leather vest and white knee length leather boots. He had a thick gold chain round his neck and spoke with a London accent

Maybe a Rob Halford impersonator (Judas Priest) on a bender

Mean while in South Africa...

An apparently livid man drove his vehicle through the glass doors of the Rosebank‚ Johannesburg‚ branch of Standard Bank.

t has been alleged that he became angry after he learnt that his house and vehicle would be repossessed by the bank.

The man is said to be going through a divorce with his wife.

Standard Bank spokesman Erik Larsen confirmed the incident. He said a case has been opened with police.

"The car has been removed and the area has been cordoned off. We do not know why he did that. The police are investigating‚" said Larsen.
