A 15-year-old boy is now on conditional bail after an armed robbery at the Spar store on Brayford Wharf in Lincoln.
The youths, aged 12 and 15, entered the store and proceeded to take canned drinks from the shelves between 9.45pm and 10pm on Good Friday, April 2. They were later arrested in connection with the incident.
When challenged by an employee, one of the youths produced a bladed weapon before running out of the shop. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.

Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge town councillors have voiced concerns over proposals to build a new 5G phone mast at the entrance to Apex Park, saying it should be located next to the nearby fire station training tower instead.
Councillors spoke out during the latest virtual meeting of the Town Council’s Planning Applications Committee when they reviewed a ‘pre-consultation planning letter’ from Hutchison UK Limited for the proposed 20-metre mast on the grass verge besides Marine Drive at the entrance to the park.
Cllr Louise Parkin told the meeting: “It’s planned at the entrance to Apex Park, our beautiful area of recreation. No, I don’t agree with it at all. There must be somewhere just a little bit off the site to one side where it can go. I don’t agree with it here one iota.”
