A MAN was bound, gagged and beaten for more than two hours as drug addled thugs robbed him of cash, his keys and his phone.
He met Rebecca Wilde, 45, in Stockport town centre before being invited back to her flat on Lancashire Hill. Michael Hollinshead, 41, Joey Peers, 43, and Paul Dixon, 37, were also at the flat and, after taking crack cocaine, Hollinshead demanded money from the man.
When he refused, he tied him up with rope provided by Wilde, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Over two hours and 20 minutes he was repeatedly punched while Hollinshead demanded he hand over his PIN number for his bank card.
During that time, Wilde, Peers and Dixon went to a nearby Asda and bought booze. The man was eventually released, with Hollinshead saying they would ‘knife him’ if he reported what happened to the police. Now all four have been jailed.
Jacob Dyer, prosecuting, said that on November 30, 2021, the man, an Iranian national, was in the town centre when he was met by Wilde who invited him back to her flat at Hanover Towers. At around 2.30pm they went inside, and the three men were already there, he said. Drugs were taken, including crack cocaine, with the men asking where the man lived and what he was doing.
