Heroic workers save elderly woman from thug during lunch break

Surveys have found that industrious recruiters take the shortest lunch breaks - just 15 minutes - but what these heroic consultants managed to do whilst grabbing a sarnie may surprise you.

Two consultants from Nottingham-based Elevate Recruitment and Training Consultants, stopped a thief in his tracks, who had swinded money from an elderly woman, on their way back to work. Justin Halpin, 30, Adam Hickman, 25, along with another man, managed to restrain the thug, Dragos Stoica, on a high street in Ruddington.

Halpin, from Daybrook, told The Nottingham Post why he intervened: "We were coming back onto the High Street and I noticed there was a very elderly lady with a zimmer frame who was coming up between two cars and she seemed very distressed.

"She was crying out and I didn’t understand at first. Then I managed to make out she was saying ‘Stop him’."
