Four Lancashire men sentenced to more than 50 years for robbing C-stores

Four men accused of indulging in a string of convenience stores robberies have been sentenced to more than 50 years in jail.

According to local reports, Daniel Lewis, Daniel Holding, Anthony Heaton, and Matthew Lowe, committed eight robberies between November 2021 and April this year, at Co-op and Spar shops in Leyland, Preston, Chorley and Warrington.

Each time a combination of the four men entered the shops in balaclavas and masks, brandishing weapons and making threats towards staff. They made off with at least £10,000 each time, leaving shop workers shaken and distressed.
