Violent armed robbery gang jailed for combined total of more than 54 years

A violent armed robbery gang was this afternoon jailed after a terrifying spree of raids at businesses in the West Midlands.
The gang struck five times at firms including arcades and a travel agent, with masked thugs armed with hammers and knives storming in during business hours.
They would threaten and use violence against staff before demanding money, making off with thousands of pounds each time.
