Moment armed robber storms Grimsby store in raid
A man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison following a string of armed robberies.
During one of the raids in March, Connor Barker entered a petrol station on Grimsby Road, Cleethorpes, brandishing a large knife and threatening staff whilst demanding money.
In a brave attempt to apprehend him, the shop keeper locked him in the shop while officers arrived at the scene.
Barker subsequently smashed a window before fleeing the scene on foot.
In another incident, Barker, 28, of Scott Close, Grimsby, threatened staff whilst demanding cash, and in a third robbery fled with a till after the shopkeeper struggled to open it.
