A 'dangerous' thug who left a man with 'significant facial injuries' and stole his mobile phone was among the criminals jailed in Greater Manchester this week.
It comes as a woman who lured a friend to her house before he was beaten and robbed by her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend was also put behind bars. A drug dealer who was discovered with cocaine, 150 pills and wads of cash in a Salford hotel room was also jailed for offences in our region.
Prison sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
