Two men have both been jailed for four years for robbing a Morrisons petrol station in Bredbury in September last year
Jordan Farran and Glen O’Donnell were captured on CCTV and shown entering the Morrisons petrol station armed with a golf club.
Once inside the pair intimidated staff into handing over a quantity of cash and cigarettes before they fled into the night.
CCTV footage captured their getaway and on viewing this, investigating officers were able to identify the car they made off in as one that was registered to Farran.
Detective Constable Shakespeare of GMP Serious Crime Division said: “This was a nasty robbery and I commend the bravery of witnesses in making themselves known to police and supporting our investigation. We have spent long hours gathering evidence and reviewing phone data and CCTV to identify and arrest the two defendants and bring them before the courts.
“I hope the work of the investigation team demonstrates that GMP is committed to tackling robbery and that our officers will track down, arrest and hold to account anyone who thinks they can use violence to take that which doesn’t belong to them.”
