ABTA in 'safety first' plea after shooting

(29 January 2003)

ABTA has urged members not to risk their lives if they are involved in a hold-up.

The plea follows the fatal shooting of a have-a-go hero during an armed robbery at a Bradford travel agency.

The incident happened when robbers attacked a security guard at Madina Travel in Lumb Lane and made off with a large quantity of cash.
