McDonalds Heist Thwarted by Table Full of Elite Soldiers Having Lunch
7th June 2016
Oops.
Two men attempted to carry out an armed robbery on a McDonald’s in France – only to be thwarted by a table full of soldiers from an elite military unit having their lunch at the restaurant.
The thieves burst into the restaurant in the eastern commune of Ecole-Valentin on Sunday night – one firing a warning gunshot while the other began raiding the tills, as customers and employees fled the scene.
…
It was at this point – once everyone was out of danger – that the soldiers made their move, pursuing the robbers into the car park.
They shouted for the men to stop, but they just carried on. One fell on some stairs and was quickly apprehended, while the other was halted by a shot to the abdomen.
To be fair, any twelve soldiers would have done the same.
What’s the French for ‘You deserve a break today!’?
