A robber who threatened several of his victims with a pair of scissors has been jailed. Lloyd George Stevenson, 61, has been locked up after slashing a member of hotel staff and issuing shop workers with a chilling threat during his 'appalling' offending spree in and around the city centre.
Police have also praised two good samaritans who stepped in and tried to detain him as he tried to rob a woman waiting for a cab.
Stevenson’s personal crime wave began on February 19 this year when he burst into a shop on High Street in Hulme. He walked into an empty staff room and rifled through an employee's handbag, stealing £300 in cash before fleeing., Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
