Two jailed after knife-point robbery in Grimsby store
Two men have been jailed for a combined total of eight years
Two men have been jailed for a planned knife-point robbery at a shop on Macauley Street in Grimsby.
The men admitted their roles in a late-night attack on a shopkeeper, where cash was stolen last September.
Detectives pieced together the case using CCTV, recovered weapons and electronic tag data.
23-year old Reece Mcrae was sentenced to five years in prison and 22-year-old Bailey Hanna has been sentenced to three years.
Detective Constable Jaymee Carlton from Humberside Police said: “This was a needless and indefensible knifepoint robbery carried out by two bullies, who showed a clear disregard for the shop keeper and how their actions may affect them.
“Thankfully, the shop keeper did not sustain any injuries as a result but was naturally left feeling shaken by the incident.
“We have zero tolerance for individuals who carry weapons and use fear to commit crime and intimidate those who are going about their daily business, earning a living and working in local shops within tightknit communities."
