          Bonnie mulls while Clyde gets his just desserts.

Yaşar Güngor has a jewelry shop on Talatpaşa Avenue in Kâğıthane,
Istanbul. The day before yesterday at about 1530 hours two people,
one of them a woman, entered Güngör's shop and sprayed pepper gas
in his face.  Then they beat Güngor with a gun handle, taking whatever
they wanted as the owner lay helpless on the floor.  

However (!), as the thieves tried to escape Güngör's fellow shopowners
and other citizens grabbed the robbers and began to beat them.  Only by
the police arriving at the scene were the suspects saved from lynching. 
Body searches of the robbers revealed the gun, pepper spray and an 
electro-shock gadget.  The money and jewelry were recovered, as well.

While Güngör was taken to a hospital for treatment, robbers Rıza Ö.
and Hatice D. were taken in for questioning at the police station.  
Later, Güngör explained that "after they sprayed the pepper gas in my
face they attacked me with the electro-shock gadget.  Then they began
to hit me in the face with the gun handle.  I tried to resist.  All I could
think of was my grandchildren. I feared for my life."
