A yob has been jailed after trying to steal a watch worth more than £182,000 from a man weeks after stealing thousands of pounds of cash from a G4S van making a delivery.
William Robinson's crime spree started on June 22 last year in Longsight when the 28-year-old, with Shera Patrick and Thomas Warwick, watched on as a G4S member of staff delivered cash to the Lloyds Bank on Stockport Road.

A victim impact statement was also read out by prosecutor, Hayley Bennett, with the G4S driver saying: "Nobody has the right to assault me while I'm earning an honest living and something I've done for 10 years." It also left him
