Two masked robbers lured couple 600 miles to buy a car

Masked robbers who lured a couple more than 600 miles to buy a car before ambushing them and stealing £5,000 from them at knifepoint have been jailed.

Sajid Hussain, 26, and Shahid Sadik, 24, tricked Michael Irvine and his girlfriend Louise Cogle into travelling from their home in the Shetland Islands, thinking they would be buying a car in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The couple had travelled by plane and train from their remote home to buy a white Audi Quattro they had seen advertised for sale for £5,995 on Auto Trader.

Miss Cogle paid a £500 deposit for the car and they brought a red suitcase with them containing £5,000 in cash.
But when the couple arrived on August 10 last year, they were ambushed by men wearing balaclavas and armed with a gun and a plank of wood.
