Man robbed a bar with a gun, after waitress recognized him, he hugged her and lied it was a joke

A 29-year-old South Wales man stopped the robbery plan after being recognized by a waitress when he tried to rob a bar, the Metropolitan Daily reported on March 11 local time.








Waitress Yvette Smith later recalled that she saw the robbers break into the bar and thought she was going to die - because the robber had a gun on her head. Then something incredible happened. The waitress recognized the robber's voice and asked cautiously, "Luke, why do you do this?"







Surveillance video of the attack later showed Luke slowly dropping his gun and giving the waitress a hug. Then he claimed that the gun is a toy gun and that it's just a joke.

It is also understood that Yvette once had a relative commit suicide with a gun, which caused a great psychological shadow to her. Luke also knows about this, because Yvette told him. If it's a joke, it's a joke that's tough enough. Later, Yvette sued Luke.

In a statement, Yvette told the judge that she "panicked and didn't know what to do" in the attack. "She also confessed," at that time, she really thought it was a real gun, she thought she was going to die, and now she's not sure whether she can continue to work in the bar. "






So, as Luke said, is he just "joking"?. Obviously not. The gun is a real imitation gun. According to the police investigation, Luke has a criminal record of drug possession and has long been planning for robbery.






Yvette revealed that Luke asked about the bar's account statistics before the robbery, when she became suspicious. In addition, Luke has the experience of illegal gun trade. After the robbery, Jones was afraid of being arrested and ran to his father's house to hide, but he was still arrested.

In addition, it is reported that Luke was addicted to drugs and decided to commit robbery after spending all his money and unable to afford drugs. But he actually chose to rob in the bar where he bought wine many times, and was recognized. Finally, he tried to "muddle through" in this absurd way, which was really "amateur".
