A man who had just robbed two bars, popped into the kitchen of the second one and asked them how much they earned for a day’s work. Upon hearing it, he handed them 130 euros and left.
This 34-year-old man from Armilla had the modus operandi of drinking at the bar until the rest of the other customers had gone, and then leaping over the counter and threatening the barman with a broken bottle to gain access to the till and then empty it.
His first ‘port of call’ was Los Tres Juanes in his home town, before moving onto Ogíjares, which is where he had his Robin Hood moment.
His “kinder” moments are few and far between because two days previously he had held up a female acquaintance and stole her car at knife point. She was too scared to report it.
But back to the case of the bar in Ogíjares, where he had hopped over the bar again and threatened the barman with a knife.
Not only did he take the contents of the till, but he also took the signed bank notes that the proprietor had decorating one of the walls – want not; waste not, obviously.
However, soon after running out of the bar, he turned around and sauntered back in, which was when he went into the kitchen, to the astonishment of the kitchen staff and handed over a day’s pay to them.
