An 86-year-old British woman fought off a would-be thief by repeatedly beating the female suspect over the head with a package of bacon.
According to Greater Manchester Police, the victim had withdrawn a “large quantity” of money from a bank machine before heading into a supermarket on Monday.
“Whilst shopping, the lady was challenged by an unknown female who grabbed her trolley and demanded the money she had withdrawn,” police said in a statement posted on the department’s Facebook page.
