Granny sees off hammer-wielding robbers with a broom

Armed with claw hammers, two hooded youths walk brazenly into a convenience store for an early morning robbery.



But they hadn't reckoned on bumping into shop assistant Ann Withers - who brushed away their violent crime using a broom.



The brave 55-year-old grandmother grabbed her weapon of choice and battered the hooded duo into submission, forcing them to flee empty-handed.
