They tried to smash their way into the new shop at the top of Green Lane , Tranmere at 01.00am on Monday morning but ran off when alarm went off, they badly damaged the roller shutter at the rear of the premises ( the old YARD pub).

There have been a few inb the area recently. The one stop shop in upton village was done early evening 2 weeks ago along with the wellington road in oxton shops.

And the beechwood estate these are the 3 i know deffo happened all within 2 weeks. Guns and knifes the weapon of choice

i know the co-op on saughall massie was held up in the past two weeks. one of the shop assistants was hit with the firearm.

The mind boggles, why not a jewellery shop or an armoured truck?

Cause airpistols don't do much damage against an armoured truck or a pissed off shop owner.

how do you know it was an airpistol

I don't know, it's an educated guess. 95% of 'armed robberies' are people with metal pipes and rusty old machetes, of the 5% that actually have FIREARMS how many do you think are actually airpistols or replicas? I'd guess a huge amount, especially when it's to knock off some shitty off licence for a hundred quid.

so your just guessing and not very educated....

Now you've started it.

i haven't started anything but people just guessing at stuff is stupid where does it say 95% of armed robberies are with a bit of pipe or an air pistol....if you knew anything of airpistols you would know what damage one could do at close range....

I know nottink, I just watching and waiting.

Ahh the irony. Claiming I'm uneducated when you don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.

A minute of googling:

"Airguns are involved in almost half of all gun crime and are responsible for almost a quarter of all gun injuries. "Low powered" airguns are capable of delivering fatal injuries, as well as other less serious injuries.

The data confirm that a majority of all recorded gun offences are being committed with weapons that do not require registration. Offences with airguns and imitation guns accounted for at least 53 percent of the total."
