A 75-year-old woman rushed into action yesterday morning when six robbers, with sledgehammers, attempted a smash-and-grab at a jewelry store in Northampton, England. Ann Timson, armed with only her handbag, took on the men, breaking up the robbery and causing them to flee without taking anything.

Awesome- but who's the wuss that videoed all that mayhem, while Supergran was taking on those clowns?
I'd also love to hear the crap the robbers have to endure in jail- 'How many grannys were there? And they hit you w/what..?'

Sadly, I wouldn't put it past them trying to take her to court for assault, that's how much of a joke the legal system is over here . . .
