The Times is catching up quick:
“from the unused factory, Aluminium Exclusions”

Exclusions?!

Or maybe the factory was actually named that, which would explain why it is now unused.

In reply to ciccio2010. ciicio2010, 'snatch' is what the SAS do, not amateur robbers.

…my correction – they mention “bag snatching” and not “snatch and grab”! Well done Daphne.

In reply to Mark C. Nope, they probably meant grab a snatch...

Today’s print issue of The Times has no mention of what they wrote online yesterday, thus Daphne’s version has been verified as correct. Cheers.

In reply to Mark C.

I beg to disagree. They meant Snatch and Grab. Read carefully “he was found guilty of holding two Dutch women and stealing their handbags,”…
He snatched the two Dutch women, and then grabbed their handbags…
