Man Due in Court After Whitby Robbery

Friday, 8 April 2022 12:57

The robbery was reported at 4pm yesterday.

A 26-year-old man from South Bank near Redcar is due to appear in court today (April 8th) charged with robbery following an incident in Whitby.

Just after 4pm on Thursday 7 April, a robbery was reported at Ladbrokes bookmakers on New Quay Road when it was alleged that a man had entered the shop, threatened staff and left with an amount of cash.

With the assistance of CCTV operators, officers traced the suspect through the town and onto a bus which they then intercepted near Middlesbrough where the suspect was arrested.

He was taken into police custody for questioning and subsequently charged with robbery and possessing a knife.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at York Magistrates’ Court today, Friday 8 April 2022.
