IF YOU do the crime, you’ve<br />
got to do the time.<br />
And the manager of <strong>The</strong><br />
Brickworks bar in Cashmere<br />
says serial armed robber<br />
Doug Roake should do a lot<br />
of time.<br />
On pages 1 and 6-7, the<br />
manager and a bartender<br />
who were held up – not once<br />
but twice by Roake – speak<br />
exclusively to reporter Andrew<br />
King.<br />
Very few people will ever<br />
have to face a loaded firearm,<br />
but these two women have<br />
experienced the terror twice.<br />
It’s a fear all hospitality<br />
staff have. During Roake’s<br />
reign of terror across Canterbury,<br />
hotels and bars were on<br />
alert fearing if they would<br />
be next.<br />
He had no issue about discharging<br />
his firearm – and<br />
the attack on two women in<br />
Rolleston, which ultimately<br />
led to his undoing, was testimony<br />
of that.<br />
So when the manager<br />
of <strong>The</strong> Brickworks says he<br />
should stay in jail for a very<br />
long time, she has a point.<br />

CUFF ’EM AND STUFF ’EM<br />
When you find yourself stuck in handcuffs,<br />
what do you do? You call into your local<br />
fire station. Specialist fire investigator Mark<br />
Thomas said in his weekly <strong>Star</strong> Media column<br />
a man walked into the Christchurch<br />
Central Fire Station on <strong>June</strong> 3, asking to<br />
be helped out of handcuffs. He said some<br />
discreet calls were made to find out if the<br />
handcuffs were the work of police. “It turns<br />
out the cuffs were the type available at<br />
certain adult shops and the poor fellow had<br />
been ‘trying them on.’ Ten minutes later he<br />
was on his way – handcuffs in pieces, Mr<br />
Thomas said.<br />
