Mark Leadbeatter was jailed for four years after his bungled grab for cash left him doused in boiling oil, causing severe facial burns
A thief was left with severe facial burns from a hot wok when he tried to rob a Chinese takeaway.
Mark Leadbeatter, 53, was doused in boiling oil while trying to raid an Oriental food van.
The hapless robber, who suffered burns to his face and neck, has now been jailed for four years.
In a report of the incident PCSO Julie Green said: He demanded money from the three females working on the van. He was given some money but said it wasnt enough.
He reached over to a tin and in a struggle a wok with hot fat in was spilt over the suspect and one of the women.
He was found collapsed [nearby] and arrested.

Well, boiling oil is one of those classical weapons.
I’m slightly disappointed to read it was in a tussle over the wok, rather than a deliberate counterattack by one of the robbery victims, and sorry to read that one of the women also suffered burns.

It was all in the escape. Wok, don’t run.

The only thing they did wrong was not starting off with the boiling oil.
DANG!
