Western wear bandits strike Fort Worth retail store

by PegNews wire

On Sunday evening (Dec. 30) at about 6:45 p.m., three men and a woman entered the Nevarez Western Wear store on East Seminary Drive in Fort Worth, bound and gagged the sole employee (a 26-year-old woman) and made off with a reported $7,000 in cowboy hats, pants, suits and saddles.

Any potential humor coefficient to this crime story dwindles in light of the fact that one of the bandits knocked the employee to the floor when she attempted to hit the alarm system's panic button - and at one point the lone female robber yelled that the others should "shoot her." The no-doubt frightened employee thinks that the guy who struck her may be the same rat bastard who robbed the store earlier this year.
