Man jailed after robbing shops with machete

Joshua Tattersall, 25, is starting a nine-year six-month sentence

Joshua Tattersall, 25, of Ambleside Road, Ribbleton, was found guilty by a jury in July and was last week sentenced to nine years and six months in prison for his crimes.

He entered the first of four shops wearing a balaclava and brandishing a machete at 6.39pm on April 18, 2024. Tattersall demanded the shop assistant open the till and hand over cash, but the shop keeper raised the alarm and Tattersall fled.

He then robbed or attempted to rob another three nearby shops within 20 minutes.
