I'd guess that to do this he must have been desperate and probably more to be pitied than mocked.  But, if I had to express a preference for the method of arming of robbers, I'd go for a branch every time.  God forbid we ever get to the levels of gun ownership on the other side of the pond.

Perhaps he'd watched a repeat of the car punishment from Fawlty Towers  ;D

Maybe he will turn over a new leaf and see the error of his ways.   ;D

Let's hope he doesn't branch out into anything more serious!

Perhaps the police have the wrong description and are barking up the wrong tree.
