It`s happened again. A shopkeeper in Truro, Cornwall, was being robbed by three crooks who stole some goods and ran off.
He chased after them and caught the biggest of them who started to fight him.
He fought back, and won, and retrieved his goods but was arrested by the police and charged with assault.
He pleaded self defence etc., but was given the option, gaol or an £80 fine, he had to choose the fine so he could go on trading. The thief got a caution.
I ask you, is this fair? What is the world coming to when crooks can rob you and get away with it while you are charged with assault when you defend yourself and your property?
