Armed robbery gang jailed for series of raids across the West Midlands

The gang first struck on November 20, 2022, at Shipley’s arcade on West Bromwich High Street.
At around 10.20am, three masked men wielding hammers and knives stormed in, threatening customers and staff and demanding safes and cash machines are opened.
One member of staff was grabbed by the throat by a gang member and another member of staff had what he thought was a knife pressed into his back.
The gang fled with thousands of pounds.
On 2 December that year, three men entered Buzz Bingo on Kingsbury Road in Erdington, again armed with hammers and knives and threatening staff and customers, rounding them up into one area and demanding they open the safe.

14 years for a few grand each …. Sounds like a solid business model

right why not deal in bricks of coke huge returns probably around the same or less jail time depending on what they have on you, armed robbery is little gains huge risks.

Don't forget there was a white dude involved too and the stereotype exists because mainstream media doesn't report on white criminals enough. How else can you explain Lucy Letby being able to murder so many babies without raising suspicion?! Because the world wide narrative is that white people are pure, innocent and wouldn't hurt a fly but the truth is every single race is capable of criminality.
