Tim Daley, 48, of Leven Avenue, Fleetwood, is charged with two robbery offences and one of possessing a bladed article in a public place.

He was remanded after appearing at Blackpool Magistrates’ Court on Monday (27 September) to appear at Preston Crown Court on 27 October for a procedural hearing.

Daley is yet to indicate a plea. A not guilty plea would see the case sent for trial.

Last week, Lancashire Constabulary confirmed it responded to two reports of robbery at World Travel Lounge in Fleetwood. A large quantity of cash was taken on each occasion, the force said.
