A 40-year-old man has been sentenced for attempted robbery at Laganside Court today, Wednesday 23rd October.
Colin Edwards was sentenced to 3 years and 10 months following the attempted robbery of a pharmacy at the High Street area of Carrickfergus on Friday 29th December 2023.
“He will serve half of his sentence in custody and the other half to be served on licence.
Detective Sergeant Crothers said: “Colin Edwards was armed with a knife when he entered the pharmacy shortly after 11:30am.
“He stole and consumed an item from the shelves before demanding prescription medication from staff.
“Officers attended and he was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including possession of a blade or point in a public place, attempted robbery and theft.
“Today’s sentencing offers reassurance that we will work tirelessly to bring offenders before the courts so that the victims receive the justice they deserve. I would ask anyone who believes they are a victim of crime to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.”
