Two men involved in a string of terrifying samurai sword robberies at convenience stores in Leeds have been jailed for a total of 15 years.

The pair were brought to justice as a result of an investigation by Detective Constable Alan Andrews, of Leeds District Crime Team, who was able to recognise one of the masked robbers from his voice and his walk.

DC Andrews prides himself on being the scourge of prolific criminals, particularly in east Leeds, who arrogantly brag on social media about “no face, no case” in reference to wearing balaclavas and face coverings while committing offences.
