Two armed robbers who police said pretended to be from Liverpool while they raided a shop have been jailed.
Stephen Bradley and David Oakley threatened staff at Maddy's Store in Church Road, New Mills, Derbyshire, with a knife and imitation firearm.
The pair, who were heard on CCTV saying they needed to "get back to Liverpool", stole £4,000 of cigarettes, £200 cash and nine bottles of whiskey.
Bradley, 56, and Oakley, 48, were in fact living about "five minutes down the road" from the shop, Derbyshire Police said.
Bradley, of New Street, New Mills, pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of an imitation firearm.
Oakley, of no fixed address, admitted robbery and possession of a knife.
Both were sentenced to four years in prison at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on 24 June.
