Brave Handheld Barcode Scanner [in Hands of Elderly Woman] Fights off Robber

A dynamic duo of a handheld barcode scanner and a feisty elderly woman attempted to intervene in the robbery of a convenience store in Malden, Massachusetts.

A security camera recording captured the entire event.

We agree with the police that attacking a robber is “not something we would recommend for anybody to do”. If you do choose to do so, swing the base of the barcode scanner stand (that’s where all the weight is)
