Tenacious bakery staff fought off a 'crowbar' thug with baguettes as he tried to break into their shop. Workers at Barbakan Deli in Chorlton, Manchester took no prisoners when the 'idiot' entered the premises in the early hours of January 20, the Mirror reports.

A statement was released soon after by the bakery on social media, according to The Mirror. It read: “We really enjoyed watching an idiot carefully and quietly break open our door at 4am with a crowbar, only to sh*t his pants and run at the sight of bakers working in the bakery,” it read. “WE ARE A 24/7 BAKERY!!!!!!!

There is NEVER NOBODY AT BARBAKAN! “We also can see you on camera right now lurking around the building… we are armed with razor sharp baguettes.” Barbakan owner Frankie Dyer said: “At 4.30, my night shift of bakers have just finished, and my morning shift are just starting, and the drivers are in as well.“So there were probably about 10 or 11 people in the bakery.

They heard some banging and they ran to the door, and it had been opened.“We got the CCTV footage, and it showed a man very quietly and carefully spending a lot of time trying to open the door.“He finally creaks it open, sees everyone, and literally darts in the opposite direction.“You’d think he’d been able to hear everyone.
