Store raid: boy convicted
Date published: 14 December 2011
A 14-year-old boy from Shaw has been convicted of attempted robbery following a raid on a Failsworth off-licence.
The Chronicle revealed in February how CCTV cameras captured three masked offenders repeatedly demanding money and attacking a staff member at Raja off-licence in Hardman Lane. Arrests were made after the Chronicle published images of the attack.
The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was given a rehabilitation order for 12 months at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court and a curfew for two months.
A 17-year-old boy from Moston had previously been given a rehabilitation order for 12 months for his role in the crime, while a 16-year-old boy has been released without charge.
