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.

“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. The drivers are coming in and out too, loading the bread up.”
Greater Manchester Police warned local businesses in the Chorlton area in a Facebook post on January 22 that ‘a series of burglaries’ have been taking place between December 15 and January 19, on premises on Barlow Moor Road, Beech Road and Wilbraham Road.
They released CCTV pictures of the suspect, who is masked and wearing a backpack.
Dyer said that after seeing the pictures from GMP, they have passed
