Robbery arrest

Published on 22nd November 2007 in News

A fifth man has appeared in court in connection with an armed robbery that led police to Howden.

Police combed the town after the Nationwide Building Society in Pocklington was robbed earlier this year and a getaway vehicle was discovered in the grounds of Hygena.

Aaron Williams (22), of Salford, was arrested in Lancashire on Saturday and transferred to the custody of Humberside Police.

He appeared before East Yorkshire Magistrates' Court on Monday, charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and attempted grievous bodily harm.

Mr Williams was remanded in custody and will appear at Hull Crown Court on November 26.

He is the fifth man to be charged in connection with the robbery - John Wood (21), of Manchester, and Phillip Kelly (23), Kieran Shortman (21) and Michael Martin (21), all of Salford, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob and are due to be sentenced next month.
