A 30-year-old man from Burnage has been jailed five years for attempted robbery of two Didsbury bars.<\/p>\n
Taurean Edwards burst into The Botanist bar on School Lane demanding to speak to the manager. He then forced his way into the office and attempted to steal money.<\/p>\n
When a worker at the bar told Edwards he did not have access to the tills, he became frustrated and fled.<\/p>\n
A month later, on 30 November, Edwards stole more than \u00a39,000 from the Victoria Inn on Burnage Lane. Police found fingerprint evidence linking Edwards to both crimes.<\/p>\n
DC Steve Lowton said: \u201cThere has been an extensive investigation to make sure Edwards was held to account for his actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to five years.<\/p>\n
DC Lowton added: \u201cHe threatened innocent businesses and the people working within them too many times, and this kind of intimidating behaviour will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis result shows how committed we are to bringing those who threaten hardworking people to justice, and will hopefully offer some closure to those who were affected by his actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
