Supergran to the rescue!

Never underestimate the old grannies

I hope she got a decent reward.

Funny - I saw someone on Twitter posted a photo of the scene a while later - all taped off with the scooter still lying on it's side.

Sorry to say this, if this isn't a set-up I think the lady is more stupid than heroic. She was very lucky that the shutters came down when they did and the gang were just hapless kids rather than proper criminals who would have knocked her out without giving it a second thought.

The phrase 'posh get-away scooter' is heard far less than 'nicked R1' for good reason.

I'm thinking film shoot or hoax, to be honest.
