6 thieves arrested after leaving tracks in the snow
Published: 2013 March 28 20:55:33 (5457 Views)
Six people were arrested over a robbery at a convenience store in Warwickshire last week after they failed to follow the most basic rule in the thief’s handbook – always cover your tracks.
The bumbling thieves were tracked down by police after officers simply followed their footprints in the snow leading away from the store and to a block of flats nearby.
The robbery at the One Stop store in Whitnash at around 7:30am on Saturday saw members of staff threatened by two men who also stole money and scratch cards.
Having followed the footprints in the snow, officers moved on to a second address following further enquiries and subsequently arrested four people.
Two others were then arrested later in the day.
Of the six arrested, four appeared in court charged with robbery, while the others were released without charge.
John Charles Ryder, 38, Kevin Lee McGregor, 24 and Maggie Ryder, 47, all of Masters Road, were remanded in custody to return to court on April 4. The former was also charged with resisting arrest.
A 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was bailed until April 4 after appearing at a juvenile court.
