Alarming CCTV footage reveals the moment the gang responsible for a shocking raid on a Co-op rammed into cops with a van
.
This was the beginning of a five-month crime spree from March to July 2022 which saw them strike 19 times across England and Wales.The four-man gang operated with ruthless violence and in one theft, at Warrington, they rammed into a police patrol car before hurling bricks at two cops inside.
Footage shows the gang ram the two cops in Warrnington with a Transit van and then pull alongside in the Golf and hurl bricks at the patrol car. Moments earlier, they raised an ATM at the store. Painstaking retracing of where the Golf had come from, over several weeks, paid off.This lockup garage was where the gang believed was their safe location to keep stolen motors. It was owned by the local council, but there had not been an owner of that garage for five years.
"Leatherbarrow was doing some kind of legitmate business as well involved in construction - he could also make his own number plates." The gang were then followed as they moved south in a stolen BMW. They tried to steal a Transit van but it broke down, and they stole a second. After forcing the gang's car to stop, police searched Lee Leatherbarrow's home in St Helens and he was arrested. "We would say Crimea Price was leader of this group, but Leatherbarrow was the brains - he is very good mechanically, and with vehicles, it played a very important part. At his home we found items used for making number plates and locksmith tools."
