alleging conspiracy to rob the Spar shop at High Ben­ tham where his mother-in-


law was the manager. In that case, a Securicor


were armed with a claw hammer, machete,' the pis­ tol and a baseball bat. When Mr Banks told


High Bentham, and David Haddon (30), from Hamil­ ton, Scotland, admitted conspiracy to rob Michael Banks and his wife, Lois, at their home in Billington. Martin Steiger QC (pros-,


ecuting) said the robbery took place on December


5th, 1996. After hearing a noise in


the kitchen, the couple saw four masked men. Mr Banks was tortured, taken downstairs, gagged and blindfolded, and tied up. The gang, looking for a


driver was punched and robbed of a bag containing


£5,800. Kenneth Stevenson (29),


them the safe did not exist, they threatened to cut off one of his wife's fingers. They eventually left with £20,000-worth of jewellery, cash and property. Jonathan Foster QC


from Glasgow, admitted the robbery, and was jailed for


five years. O'Hagan was sentenced


(defending) said there was no suggestion that father- of-five O'Hagan participat­ ed in the robbery. He plead­ ed guilty on the basis that he had received and passed on telephone messages, and played a minor role at a late


stage. Mr Foster described


safe which they believed contained £100,000, pistol whipped him and struck him with a hammer while his wife was tied up. The pistol was held


O'Hagan as one of the most productive informants and the court heard that he had received more than £3,000 for information in the past. O'Hagan had been acquitted of another charge


to four-and-a-half years and Haddow, who admitted conspiracy in both rob­ beries, got seven-and-a-half


years. Haddow had given evi­


dence against O'Hagan in an earlier trial and Judge John Townend said that otherwise the sentence would have been 15 years. He said: "Distasteful


though it may be to the general public, it is neces­ sary in the ongoing fight against crime that people such as you should be encouraged to give evidence against fellow criminals.”
