Dudley man linked to robbery by Minnie Mouse gloves

A Dudley man’s been jailed for six years after Minnie Mouse gloves linked him to a robbery in Roseville last August.

Shane Hadlington was wearing a motorcycle helmet when he and an accomplice threatened staff with a metal bar at the One Stop Shop on Bourne Street.

But CCTV footage showed one of the masked robbers had a tattoo of the word ‘DAD’ on his right wrist and was wearing a pair of Minnie Mouse gloves, which were later found at Hadlington’s last known address in Lower Gornal.

The 27 year-old denied the offence but was found guilty at Wolverhampton Crown Court last Friday.
