A clever shopkeeper traps thieves by locking them in his store

At a grocery store in Smethwick, a shopkeeper brilliantly thwarted a robbery by locking the machete-wielding malefactors inside his store. The incident, captured by surveillance cameras, shows two men threatening the owner with a large white weapon. The shopkeeper ran from the counter, dropping bottles of wine to cause confusion, then closed the door, trapping the suspects inside. Law enforcement are actively searching for the suspects, who eventually fled through a bathroom window.
