A teenage boy has been charged following a robbery at the Spar shop on Todmorden Road, Burnley.
The incident occurred shortly before 10pm on Sunday (March 27th), when two men wearing balaclavas and carrying metal bars entered the store. They stole a quantity of cigarettes and alcohol before making off.
A 17-year-old from Burnley was later arrested and last night (Tuesday) was charged with aggravated burglary. He is due to appear at Blackburn Magistrates’ Court today.
