Two Bradford teenagers are to stand trial on December 3 accused of a series of armed robberies at bookmakers, supermarkets and off-licences.

Luke Rubery, 18, of Harewood Street, Barkerend , and a 17-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

Both were remanded back into custody for a case management hearing on November 16.

Joshua Lacey, 18, of Stone Acre Court, West Bowling , was last week bailed to attend at the Crown Court on Monday.

All three are charged with conspiracy to rob.

They were arrested following eight robberies between July 13 and August 24 involving more than £3,000, in which weapons including a knife and an axe were allegedly used.
