Alan Levers walked into a betting shop in Plymouth brandishing an imitation firearm and demanded money from the cashier. No doubt fearing that any theft would prevent winnings being paid out, a group of punters wrestled him to the ground and detained him until police arrived. However he became unconscious while waiting and was declared dead shortly afterwards.
I had to chuckle when I saw in the press report that his nephew Peter Levers, 28, described the gunman as a 'generous' man who would give you his last 50p if he had it.
Considering his uncle's apparent criminal record there would seem to be some question as to whose 50p he would actually be giving away. Some poor fellow whom he had just robbed at gunpoint, no doubt.
