Duncan Lewis, Crime Solicitors, Jail for men who used guns and pepper spray in robbery



A court has jailed two men after they and another man robbed a jewellery store in February, spraying pepper spray in the faces of staff who worked there.

At an earlier court hearing, Tomas Masnauskas, 24, Edgaras Blazaitis, 23, and Alanas Andriusis, 18 – all of no fixed abode – pleaded guilty to robbery, possession of a firearm with intent to commit robbery, and possession of a weapon designed for the discharge of incapacitate spray.

The robbery took place at Stuart Robinson’s Jewellers in Swan Lane, Norwich on 25 February.

ITV News reports that two of the men had entered the store, threatening staff with handguns – while the third man broke into the window displays and stole tens of thousands of pounds worth of jewellery.

The men sprayed two members of staff in the face with pepper spray, before fleeing the store with the jewellery.

After the robbery, the men changed their clothes – but police officers had managed to find them and arrested them on the day of the robbery.

The jewellery taken has never been recovered, however.

The court jailed Tomas Masnauskas and Edgaras Blazaitis for nine years and four months. Andriusis will be sentenced at a later date.
