Two men involved in a string of terrifying samurai sword robberies at convenience stores in Leeds have today been jailed for a total of 15 years.
The pair were brought to justice as a result of an investigation by Detective Constable Alan Andrews, of Leeds District Crime Team, who was able to recognise one of the masked robbers from his voice and his walk.
