Two teenagers charged with robbery
Date published: 17 September 2010
Two people have been charged after a robbery at a Middleton store.
Jordan Kay (born 14/07/1992), of Bonscale Crescent, Middleton, and a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, are charged with robbery and are due before Rochdale Magistrates' Court on 1 October 2010.
The robbery happened at the Spend and Save store on Rochdale Road at about 6.15am on 24 July 2010.
Three people went into the shop and two removed alcohol from the display fridge. The group then tried to leave the shop with the alcohol, at which point the shopkeeper, 36, and his assistant, 51, tried to stop them.
A scuffle broke out and the two men were punched and struck over the head with a wire basket.
During the fight the thieves also damaged foodstuffs, electrical equipment and shop fittings before leaving with four stolen cans of beer.
Anyone with information is asked to call Greater Manchester Police on 0161 856 8552 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
