"....Two men presented a knife and attempted to rob a man..... They tried to get him to go to an ATM to withdraw money.... The two local men had not been arrested..."

This a joke right?

Meanwhile thousands of lawful firearms owners are being hounded to hand in their lawfully owned property for destruction or face criminal prosecution.

Could the credibility of police get any lower.
