Ms Tucker explained to the Postillon how her late-night prowls came about, “Last Thursday, I pulled the spray out of my handbag by accident – I’ve never used it – and saw the expiry date. To my horror, I realised that I’ve only got til the end of this month to use it. And since this stuff cost me 10 bucks three years ago, I’m not about to just chuck it out now!”
Needs using: pepper spray |
“Where are all the muggers and predators when you need them?” Tucker complains. “Recently, I met four guys in hoodies with covered faces and what did they do? They kindly asked me the way! They didn’t even make fun of me.” Sylvia Tucker intends to continue trying her luck over the next few nights. However, if all else fails and come 28 February nobody has attacked her, she plans to just “spray the first person who comes along”.
