A TEENAGER is due to be sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court today after admitting being part of a gang which carried out an armed raid on an Ipswich shop.
Tyrone Clarke, 18, of Shackleton Square, Ipswich, previously pleaded guilty to robbery.
He was among six raiders who stormed into the Spar shop in Freehold Road at around 9am on January 31 and threatened staff.
One of the gang had a sword with a blade measuring 12ins long. They made off with cash, cigarettes and alcohol.
