Two men have been jailed after beating a van owner with a crowbar and stealing £45,000 worth of vapes from his vehicle.

They were discovered by police just a minute's drive from the robbery, on Allison Street in Strangeways. Officers discovered the van door was wide open and some of the boxes of vapes had been moved from the van to the boot of the Audi A5.
