A convicted robber has died in prison. Daniel See who was jailed alongside his brother Jamie and their friend Jamie Brooks in 2013 died while in police custody last month.
The crime gang carried out raids at Morrisons supermarket in Speke and a nearby grocery store in January that year. A 35 year-old supermarket worker was left bruised and shaken after the gang – who have a raft of criminal convictions between them – pushed her aside to grab £260 in notes from a till she had opened.
Hours later the gang targeted the Colin Sykes store in South Parade, where they targeted a 57-year-old till worker. They jumped on the counter to raid the till of £235 before fleeing, the ECHO reported at the time.
At the sentencing the judge claimed the three showed not an “ounce of remorse” for two robberies, as they “sniggered” at Liverpool Crown Court when shown CCTV of the distressing incidents.
See, from Liverpool, had 46 previous convictions and was jailed for four years and two months.
He was later released but imprisoned again at HMP Wymott near Leyland, where he died on April 29, 2026, aged 34.
LancsLive reported an inquest into See’s death was opened and adjourned at Preston Coroners’ Court on Monday May 11.
Area Coroner Kate Bisset said: “Mr See died whilst a serving prisoner at HMP Wymott; his death therefore requires an inquest.
“Because this gentleman died in custody there will be a Prisons and Probation Ombudsman investigation, a standard procedure for all deaths in custody. Inquest proceedings cannot conclude until after that investigation.”
The case will next be mentioned at Preston Coroners’ Court on July 23.
