FOUR would-be petrol thieves were out of luck when busted by army reservists - two of whom were off-duty cops.

......

Three of the men managed to get to their car but one tried his luck at out-running the group of reservists.

The fleet-footed fiend didn’t anticipate a barb wire obstacle course the reservists had been using nearby, however, and was cornered when he ran into it.
