Four
young armed robbers – who threatened supermarket staff at gunpoint
to hand over cash from the tills – have been caged for a total of
fourteen years.
Two
of the gang held-up the Co-Op in Greenford Avenue, Ealing, West
London on February 23 – brandishing a silver handgun.
Money
was placed inside a plastic bag and the robbers fled.
Police
viewed CCTV and with the help of staff had good descriptions of the
gang.
Just
half-an-hour later, at 10.25pm, the four defendants were stopped in a
white Audi in nearby Kennedy Road.
They
are: Abdi Abdullah, 21, (top l.) of Hitherbroom Road, Hayes, who
received five years.
Khalid
Farah, 21, (top r.) of Old Oak Common Lane, Acton, who received two
years and six months.
Ahmed
Sufi, 23, (bottom l.) of Belgrave Road, Walthamstow, who received
three years and six months.
Mursal
Yahye, 23, (bottom r.) of Maple Road, Hayes, who received three
years.
All
four pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob the supermarket and
possession of an imitation firearm.
When
police stopped the Audi vehicle the silver revolver was found in a
plastic bag.
Detective
Chief Inspector Harry Hennigan said: "The fast thinking and keen
eye of officers ensured that these men have been brought to justice."
