Flower power

An armed robber proved no match for a 71-year-old woman's water hose Tuesday afternoon. The Wilmington woman scared off a would-be robber by spraying him with a water hose and screaming for help in the backyard of her Forest Hills home.

Police said the woman was unloading flowers from her van in front of her home when she noticed a man walking near her yard bend down and get something out of his shoe.

The woman took her flowers to her backyard and began watering them and when she looked up she saw a man in her backyard pointing a gun at her. After seeing the gun, she turned the hose on the man and began to scream, police said. The man ran away.
