He only targeted the Rolex display.

Seems to be a popular hot spot that one, lost count of the amount of times they've had brazen day light robbery attempts. My Mum was once walking out of the shoe shop next door only to be confronted by an armed robber smashing the window with a lump hammer! She quickly turned around and went back in the shoe shop!!

I saw that too Stef. I've used Parkhouse loads of times and I certainly used to know a lot of the guys who work there. Glad no-one was hurt, but you're right it is amazing how many times they've been targeted. I guess a lot of it is due to the fact that the shop is on the street as opposed to being in a shopping arcade with no vehicular access. (That and the fact they have some damn fine watches there as well!)

At least they got the prat though.

Hate to hear about robberies but I love to hear that the suckers got caught.
Problem is, they will get a slap on the wrist and out again in a few months to carry on.
