10 men have been sentenced following a string of robberies across Greater Manchester.
Between June 2015 and June 2016, police received numerous reports of robberies at jewellery shops, supermarkets and houses with similar circumstances.
In one incident £76,000 was stolen in a robbery at Aldi on Trinity Street in Bolton and a member of the public was attacked with a machete.
Officers pieced together evidence and results from months of enquiries to identify an organised crime group who in total benefitted from £150,000 in cash and £100,000 worth of jewellery.
The convicted men, aged from 25 to 33, were handed sentences ranging from five to 22 years.
