Not sure if anyone else has heard but i know of 2 (possibly 3) that took place last night. anyone heard about any?

what you mean by armed robberies?guns?shops?houses?

Nothing on the Wirral Globe about it! Who said it?

sorry was a little vague in opening post, on two shops and like i said possibly a third. Bargain Booze on Pensby road was robbed and I heard the one in heswall too, not too sure bout the heswall one tho, also the premier shop on new ferry road although they were unable to get anythin from this shop due to shopkeeper fighting back!!

Armed robbery; and they were unable to get anything, cos the shopkeeper fought back? So what did he have then, an M16?

Is that a cow I can smell?

i dont know im just telling you what i know, thought someone else may of heard something? can honestly say as far fetched as it sounds it is actually true

it was the spar in newferry

Great, more Chinese whispers...

.

.

Premier store formerly the Spar on New Ferry Road was held up. Male owner apparently had a gun held to his head whilst store assistant had a knife held to her. Owner then fought back, this is all I have heard.

wikinews

They had a gun and a machete actually, and there's been reports of 6 across wirral in as many days.

Not heard a thing, Hope everybody is ok

I heard the Bargain Booze in Greasby opposite the farm has been done aswell, the door is now locked and you have to knock to enter, he said they were done on Sunday.

He didn't wan't to say too much so don't know what they are armed with

I rember a spree of them last year also

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."

Have you ever been shot by an airpistol?

Yup, not that it's relevant to what I said .. I was replying to Ste's comment.

Gotta look at the statement in context.

There have been a spate of armed robberies at off licences the past few weeks on the Wirral. It baffles me why I cannot find any news source publishing the robberies. I even checked on here and this is the first post I've seen addressing it.

I work at an off licence on the Wirral and three of our stores have been held up the past couple of weeks. Two in Oxton
and one in Meols. All three involved guns. They got off with cash and cigarettes. Last I heard, the police told us they caught those responsible and they were all given bail, so they were asking us to remain vigilant.

I believe Pensby bargain booze was one and also Tesco on Pensby road was raided in early Jan.
