Customers, tomatoes stop would-be robber

ODENSE, Denmark, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Several customers, including a 73-year-old woman armed with a can of tomatoes, stopped a man from robbing a supermarket in Bullerup, Denmark, police said.

The suspect was not identified, The Copenhagen Post said Friday.

The woman, whose name was not released, apparently began striking the would-be thief with a can of sun-dried tomatoes until he started to flee after the robbery attempt Thursday.

During the man's escape attempt, several other customers tried to stop him and one of them managed to restrain him until police arrived.

The town is on the island of Funen.
