Supergran is worldwide draw
Supergran Ann Timson, who clobbered robbers as they attempted a break-in at a jewellery store, is now an international star.
The brave 71-year-old was exclusively flown out to Manhattan, New York City so that she could appear on NBC. During her interview, she announced that she will auction the handbag used to batter the store raiders.
Ms Timson was videoed making use of the black bag as she hit four men, who were wielding sledgehammers, that were attempting to get into the Northampton shop by force.
The grandmother shot down the street, under the impression that she had seen a member of the public being attacked, before she beat the would-be robbers that had to flee the scene empty-handed.
After she was flown over the Atlantic to appear on NBC, Timson told the audience that her son will be selling her bag online. When Jokingly asked if the item will be put on eBay, she answered by saying all funds will be given to charity. Already, it is believed that someone is prepared to offer hundreds for the handbag.
The video of the red-haired grandma sprinting across the road so that she could confront the gang has been seen by millions on the internet from all over the world.
As a direct result of her courageous actions, one of the men was actually apprehended on the scene while four others have made appearances at Northampton Magistrates’ Court. They have been charged with robbery, as well as theft of a vehicle
