A man went bezerk in a Sheffield betting shop yesterday afternoon, bullying customers and smashing TV screens.
The man walked into the bookies in Sheffield City Centre at 3.30pm and placed £200 on a horse called Harbour Law running in the 3.45pm at Doncaster at odds of 22/1. The horse won the race and as it crossed the finishing line the man jumped on top of a chair and did a nazi salute. He then barged over to the counter and demanded his money.
A shop worker who has asked not to be named said "His bet paid £4,600 and I had to wait 15 minutes to get the cash out of the safe. While the man was waiting he was throwing pens at customers, scrunching up betting slips and making monkey noises. Eventually I paid him his money and he pulled a £5 note from his winnings, crushed it into a ball and threw it at my head and said "Go and get yourself a drink porky" - he was such a horrible man"
The man continued gambling throughout the afternoon and was repeatedly seen rolling up betting slips and snorting cocaine as bemused customers looked on. Eye witness Dave Nibble said "The man started to lose his money and started getting more and more irate. I saw him lose 1000 in the roulette machine in about 5 minutes. He picked up a chinese customer and threw him out of the shop. The poor bloke landed on top of a moving taxi"
The man placed his last £100 on a dog race and unfortunately his selection was bumped on a corner, finishing the race in last place. The man then punched several TV screens and dived through the main window of the shop before running off down the street.
PC Ken Grobbelaar of South Yorkshire Police said "We are looking for a white man aged between 40-50, approx 5ft in height. He was wearing black leather trousers, a black leather vest and white knee length leather boots. He had a thick gold chain round his neck and spoke with a London accent

I am surprised the staff did not call the police
Still the manager was probably told he could not call the police until the punter had lost his £4600 back He sounds some site, I would have thought someone would have known him |

He wouldn't have done that in CMAT's shop. Or maybe he did and that's why he had to leave London for Sheffield.

Who was he, Precious McKenzie? We'll have to ask Dave Nibble |

Or even at SP - not in a big firm shop anyway

If he'd been paid £4,600 (unlikely amount of cash to keep in the shop, unless its a busy machine shop), I'd have thought he wouldn't have been paid in fivers.

I believed it all about a 5ft midget, cross dresser, throwing tellies about and beating up Jackie Chan but the bit about someone getting £200 on a horse in a shop was too much to be true

Would be classed as a mug bet mote than likely despite the amount. My mate, working with me has got 200 and more on Hugh Taylor double figure odds selections at advosed price although they seem to have tightened up. |

I vaguely recall a bookies on the corner with bu stop outside from memory but I've only ever been in a bookies around three times in my life. I recall you the hen and chickens very well though I was a regular there and the Norfolk arms to a lesser extent around 20 years ago. Criminals and judges got drunk side by side |
