Lord Justice Stuart-Smith:
The Facts
"JT pleads guilty to attempt robbery on the following basis.
He travelled the short distance to the Accrington area to purchase drugs together with a friend who took no part in the robbery. The complainant was contacted and agreed to supply drugs and travelled in his vehicle to Marlborough Road to supply drugs to JT. JT had been drinking alcohol, and a short time before the arrival of the complainant, decided he would try to steal drugs from him. He accepts thereafter that his actions were as depicted on the CCTV footage."
We have seen the CCTV footage to which the appellant referred in his basis of plea. It shows the appellant waiting for the arrival of Mr Mahmood. It does not show in any detail the actual incident, save that the appellant was only in Mr Mahmood's car for about 5 to 10 seconds before running off.
