A PAIR of bungling Birmingham robbers have been jailed for 14 years after being found red-handed with a cashbox they had stolen just 30 minutes earlier.
Theodore Mullings-Fairweather and William Mooney were found hiding out on a Ladywood industrial estate less than an hour after they had snatched the cashbox from a security guard outside a Tesco Express store in Oldbury.
During the robbery outside the supermarket in Bristnall Hall Road last July, the security guard was rugby-tackled by Mullings-Fairweather who grabbed the box and made off in a getaway car.
Enquiries led police to the Ladywood industrial park where Mullings-Fairweather, 25, and 26-year-old Mooney were seen standing next to a Peugeot.
As the police helicopter circled overhead the pair sped off, pursued by a traffic car, before crashing and abandoning the car to roll dangerously down a road.
Only the swift actions of an officer, who jumped behind the wheel and pulled on the handbrake, stopped it causing more damage or injury.
Police said the pair fled the scene, but left behind plenty of evidence linking them to the robbery.
