If you are going to carry out an armed robbery....

Why would you choose Primark? Or are the prices higher in France?
Surely most people pay by card these days anyway.

And how much cash is in the tills on a Monday morning....?

Probably something else behind this I expect.

Reminds me of a story when the co op in Charlton village got robbed.
my uncle knew the culprit and he got caught coz his mum who worked there recognised him! Late 70s/early 80s?

They probably just wanted to get in there early so they didn't trip over all the stock on the floor whilst making their getaway.

Maybe they were stopping off there for some cheap tights before heading to rob something else?

Maybe they don't bank the weekends takings til Monday??

Apparently the average takings from a bank raid are just £12k, so it's not really the one job and a life luxury that I'd imagine some would be robbers might think. That said, Primark?!?!?!
