Knifepoint robberies at convenience stores in Lancashire

Two men have been charged after a series of knifepoint robberies targeting convenience stores in Preston and Chorley, according to Lancashirepost. The charges follow incidents reported across both Lancashire towns, with multiple stores targeted in the attacks.

The suspects are now facing charges related to the robberies, which were carried out using knives as weapons. Details regarding the exact dates of the incidents, specific locations, or amounts taken remain limited in the press coverage, according to an article published on 24 November 2025.

Convenience stores and small retailers can reduce robbery risk by installing visible CCTV systems, ensuring adequate staff training on de-escalation, and maintaining good lighting around the premises, particularly during evening hours when robberies are more common.
