05.02.2022 - 21:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A couple who kidnapped a man and subjected him to 12 hours of brutal torture were just two of the offenders jailed in our region in the last week.
A vile rape gang who subjected a homeless woman to an 11-hour ordeal after luring her into a house with promise of a warm drink and some food were also put behind bars.
Prison terms were also handed to a dad who started working for an alleged drugs after getting into financial problems and a successful film director who terrorised a woman during a vile stalking campaign.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
Here are some of the criminals locked up in Greater Manchester in the past seven days.
A getaway driver helped three masked men rob a supermarket in Stockport.
Jonathan Findlay, 39, of Hollyhedge Road in Wythenshawe, was sentenced after pleading guilty to robbery and assisting an offender.
The court was told how three masked men - who remain unknown - entered the Tesco Express store on Nursery Road in Cheadle Heath at around 9.45pm on May 5 of last year.
The masked men then proceeded to take cigarettes from the supermarket and demanded for a safe to be opened.
Three staff members in the store at the time were threatened with violence, before the men left and got into a black Saab vehicle waiting outside, which was being driven by Findlay.
Having checked CCTV footage and gathered witness accounts, detectives were able to track down the vehicle to an address in Cheadle Heath where Findlay was arrested on suspicion of robbery.
He was handed a 20 month custodial sentence.
