A man's quick thinking actions alerted the police to a horrifying burglary as robbers kicked and tied up their victim.
Thomas Donoghue, of Garland Road, in Huyton, along with Michael Brown, of Cae Dau Caravan Park, in Denbigh, and Warren Jennings, of Stockbridge Village, all appeared before Mold Crown Court in North Wales after being charged with robbery. They demanded cash and threatened to slash a defenceless man's face with a screwdriver if he did not tell them where it was.
The court heard how the men entered a "secluded" Hawarden estate, in Flintshire, North Wales, belonging to Neil Futcher in the early hours of October 12 last year. The occupant was alone and speaking to his partner on the phone when he noticed something outside as the men disturbed some dogs who began to bark, NorthWalesLive reports.
