“Not now i’m having a cuppa” : Shop owner confronted by knife-wielding robber calmly told him he’d have to wait – because she was having a cup of TEA

A shop owner sent a robber who brandished a 7in blade at her packing after waving a craft knife right at him and saying he would have to wait as she was having a CUPPA.

Drug user Stuart Gleeson hung around Karamjit Sangha’s newsagents for several minutes before entering and demanding cash.

But unflustered Mrs Sangha put down her cup of tea and waved the craft knife she was using to open the papers back at him and he ran off.

Mrs Sangha, 49, said: “I was just sitting there having my cup of tea when he came in holding this 7in kitchen knife.
