IT took one bus driver to stop a gang of amateur wagesnatchers near Leeds. It really wasn't their day! The four-man gang attempted a wage snatch at the Sumrie Clothes factory.
First they shot off a door lock; but the fadtory manager set off the fire alarm. The gang then made their getaway by car. But a woman who saw them switch getaway cars phoned the police.
The gang made off for a highspeed escape down the M62.
They overtook a heavy load with a police escort, who radioed their mates further on.
Police asked bus driver Ray Spinks to help. . . .
Ray blocked die road with his bus — and four men were arrested.
Not exactly a busman's holiday!
