An armed robber wearing a gas mask collapsed and died tonight after a botched raid on a bookies.
The man, in his 50s, was holding a gun when he stormed into a Ladbrokes branch in Plymouth, Devon, shortly before 7pm.
But brave customers disarmed him and pinned him to the floor while Devon and Cornwall Police were called.
Officers arrested the man, who was already unconscious, upon arrival but he was declared dead a short time later.
A police spokesman said: "It quickly became clear the man was unresponsive and an ambulance was immediately requested by police who carried out CPR until they arrived.
"A few minutes later three paramedics arrived at the scene and continued to carry out further CPR.
"Around 20 minutes later the man was declared dead at the scene by the paramedics.
