1 cannot take the credit catching them, for the real factor in their arrest was the self-starter of their car which stuck at the crucial moment. They had taken to the North Road after the rob- hery, and had travelled so quickly through one of the villages that a constable, telephoned through for them to be detained. A line of four policemen barred the car's progress at the next village and caused the driver to brake hard. Realising he was running into a trap, he swung the car into a side turning, reversed quickly, and would have been away but for that self-starter sticking. The man and woman pleaded guilty at their trial and have been deported.
