Когда ему было только 15, Норман Флетчер совершил грабеж. Он вынес 8,25 фунтов стерлингов и шесть упаковок жевательной резинки. К несчастью для него, он ограбил свой местный магазин, так что полиция арестовала его, и он должен был заплатить штраф в размере 82,50 фунтов стерлингов. Позже он стал магазинным вором, но он был пойман после того, как он взял банку бобов из супермаркета. Он пошел в суд, и в течение судебного разбирательства его адвокат утверждал, что Норман должен был пойти на программу реабилитации. Она также сказала, что ее клиент был готов выполнять общественные работы. Тем не менее, судья отправил его в тюрьму на восемь недель. Блестяще, Норман вырвались из тюрьмы за день до того, как его приговор закончился. Он украл автомобиль, чтобы уйти, но он был остановлен за превышение скорости — он ехал более чем девяносто миль в час — и был отправлен обратно в тюрьму. Когда он был освобожден, Норман решил стать грабителем. Он пытался украсть сумку у старой женщины, но она ударила его так сильно ее зонтиком, что он начал кричать о помощи, и он был арестован за шум!
