Changing gears now

In Dangriga, a 60 year old lady farmer fought off two robbers - and took their weapons! Marian Williams told police that at 9:30 this morning she was outside cleaning her farm in the Wagierale area when she was approached by two dark skinned men wearing masks. One had a home made firearm and the other a machete. They demanded drugs and money from her. One of the men choked her, and stole her wedding ring and earring. But she put up a fight and managed to wrest away the home made gun and the machete. They ran off with her jewellery and she got a small cut on her hand.

Police recovered the weapons but have no known suspects.
