A “courageous and brave” till worker tackled a man who almost blew up a petrol station.
At 4.26am on April 15 last year Lahrne Dobbs, of Oakley Way, Caldicot, approached the BP garage in Caldicot Road in Rogiet and demanded cigarettes, Cardiff Crown Court heard on Monday.
The petrol station was only operating through a night pay window at the time and Pana Paul – the only worker in the building then – agreed to sell the cigarettes to Dobbs to calm him down. But Dobbs wanted to enter the shop and wouldn’t listen to Mr Paul’s instructions.
