The second offender was described as wearing a black hooded jumper, gloves and blue tracksuit pants with a white stripe down the side.”

Wouldn’t it be easier just to say “both offenders were wearing the bogan uniform”?

Inevitably, the getaway car was a white Commodore of course.

Forgot the large, yellow stripe down the back!

Bigoted Xenophobe!!

What sort of pole? There’s been a long metal pole painted white that was finally ripped off a vandalised crash barrier nearby that had been moved every so often to end up against someone’s back fence. It’s maybe two metres long though, a bit unwieldy for robbery.

At least one of them is called Rod.

“One of the men armed with a pole” Thats pretty serious. I used to live lext door to some Polish people and they could be very violent, I think damaged from WW2

I went back to the OP trying to find where it said anything about their ethnic origins and was about to start a rant about racist generalisations etc.

Then my slow brain finally got it. Hehe! Good one…

“One of the men was armed with a pole”. Doesn’t that apply to all men? 😉

I guess that depends on whether the pole in question is “angry” at the time?

Perhaps they were on their way to pole-dancing classes…………..?
