One of the two
would-be robbers was brandishing a pistol and demanded she turn
over the money from her cash register in the attempted robbery
just after midnight on Tuesday.
But police said the woman, 59, stormed toward the duo and aimed
the hose attachment of her switched-on vacuum cleaner at them.
"They then fled without the loot," Berlin police said in a
statement.
