Belgian robbers asked to come back - and arrested on their return
A gang of robbers walk into a shop. The owner asks them to come back later when he has more money, and when they do...
It feels like the makings of a joke, but for a Belgian e-cigarette shop owner this was a frightening reality.
Six people entered Didier's shop in the suburbs of Charleroi in daylight with the intent to rob him.
The salesman told the group to return at the end of the day, when he could give them more money. In the end though, he got them arrested instead.
