Seasons Greetings from Robbers on High Street (MP3)

Armed robbers raid village shop
Three masked men have threatened staff at a shop in a village on the Essex/Suffolk border before escaping with a large sum of cash.
The men, armed with weapons including a sawn-off shotgun and wearing balaclavas, raided the Co-op in the High Street, Dedham, on Friday night.

Police said it was a terrifying experience for everybody in the shop.

The gang made off in an old-style white BMW car which they abandoned a short distance away in Mill Pond car park.

Anyone with information is asked to call Essex Police.

It was written by Raymond Moberly and performed by Teri Summers and the Librettos. Song-poems were a pop culture phenomenon in the 50s, 60s and 70s where normal people would mail in their poems to "professional musicians" who would then set music to the poems for a fee, usually a few hundred dollars.
