    Two men have been jailed after arming themselves with a meat cleaver and a knife to rob a McDonalds in Stockport.

    Robert Wood of Kiwi Street, Salford and Ashley Makin pleaded guilty to armed robbery at an earlier hearing.

    Both men threatened the manager with the cleaver, demanding that he opened the safe.
