Michael Waine, Matthew Doyle and Daniel Grant are on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of conspiracy to burgle
A man accused of a plot to break into and blow up cash machines in the north west has denied involvement.
Prosecutors allege that the men carried out two attacks, the first of which at Lancaster on October 11 2019, and the second at Berwick Upon Tweed on March 4 2020. Jurors were told that a fourth man, Craig Jepson, 48, has already pleaded guilty to all of the offences, which shows there was a conspiracy.
He said he was living above a shop on Princess Road in Moss Side at the time, and was drinking heavily. “It was during the time I was ill. I was drinking and wasn’t fully aware about people coming in and out. I know now they shouldn't have been there.” When this was put to him by his barrister, David James, he said: “I don’t recall that, but if someone had asked me to do it when I’d had a drink I could have stupidly bought them,” he said.He denied being in Lancaster or Berwick on either of the days when the attacks took place.
