You may recall I was trying to get ideas on picaxe controlled dataloggers to deal with some armed robbers a few months ago. On Sunday evening one of the two robbers were caught by the residents.
The robbers have attacked around 50 people that I know of. The one man uses a pump action shotgun, the other a knife. Almost every person attacked suffered injuries, mostly minor, and a few serious stabbings.
Of interest is that these robbers, who have eluded the police for so long, got caught by a bunch of untrained, mostly unarmed residents (but in a very sophisticated operation). I used picaxe dataloggers a few times but this robber was not caught as the result of them. The next project (catching armed robbers about 2km in the other direction) may well use the trusty picaxe again- I'll keep you all posted.
