Cheryl Cole’s brother charged with robbery
Published: 8:16AM BST 14 May 2010
Unemployed Andrew Tweedy, 30, is appearing at North Tyneside Magistrates’ Court in North Shields this day alongside two other men and a woman.
The charges relate to a raid on a post office in Longbenton, North Tyneside, on Monday, during which two men allegedly held up the premises with a gun and a machete.
Tweedy, who now uses his dad’s surname Leighton, is charged with robbery, as is Christopher Swindle, 23, and Christopher Finlinson, 22.
Tweedy’s girlfriend Emma Stanners, 29 – the mom of their baby son – faces a charge of money laundering, Northumbria Police said.
Five other men who were held in connection with the raid have been released on police bail.
The raiders struck at the Hailsham Avenue post office at around 4pm and escaped with the shop takings.
Tweedy has described himself in the past as ”the black sheep” of his close-knit family.
His sister, a judge on The X Factor, stated in an interview last year that she hoped fatherhood would help her elder brother change his ways.
”I have not actually spoken to him for a while, but he is got a baby and I’m hoping that will be his turning point,” she said.
