Double-take, # 115

A still-uncorrected error from last Friday’s online Express:

Link: Express, ‘Shoppers ordered to kneel on floor […]’

Mo Juste, who spotted the mangle, comments: ‘A despicable crime, indeed, but they’ll probably slip through the net quite easily.’

The report contains several other oddities, such as describing the malefactors as ‘balaclava-bearing’, which implies that they were carrying rather than wearing the headgear; and reporting an eyewitness as suggesting that the culprits ‘psyche [sic] themselves up on adrenaline’.
viscous thugs; psyche for psych; balaclava-bearing
