A man who robbed £78,000 from two different security guards at the same building society has been jailed for 15 years. Lee Cook, 47, pointed an imitation firearm at two guards at a Nationwide branch in Wallsend, Tyneside.
The thief, who conducted two raids at the same outlet, threatened G4S workers delivering money to the building society and told the guard: "Give me the f***ing box" before making off with the cash, reports ChronicleLive.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how the victim handed over a box which contained £39,000 in cash due to fear of being shot but some months later Cook pulled off another robbery at the same branch.
