Louise Wooster's truck as she was unloading at a London off-licence left with a flea in his ear.
The plucky lass screamed blue murder and ran to grab the would-be crook who had climbed on to the truck. "I just saw red when I saw what was going on," says Louise, who was taking a cage down the ramp. "I screamed all kinds of unrepeatable things and ran back to grab hold of him — but he jumped down in fright and ran off"
Louise called the shopkeeper out to give chase, but the six-foot tall man escaped. Louise is five feet, four inches and seven and a half stone. "I didn't consider the danger when I went at the thief" she says. "My only thought was to prevent him stealing the property I was delivering."
TNT has rewarded Louise with a bouquet of flowers — the Hawk would have needed a stiff drink.
