British Housewives Turn to Robbery in Desperate Poverty
Patricia Tweddle and Rose Smith, two British mothers, admit to a post office robbery that yielded 3,502 dollars as their poverty worsened. They blame unemployment, rising prices, and stagnant wages for leaving one in three households unable to keep up with basic needs. Their bail and probation followed a three week Holloway prison term.
