Dave Lester

Dave Lester was one of the two men who staged a robbery on Mike Baldwin's factory in January 1978. Dave and his friend Ed Jackson (known then as "Tommo") followed Mike and his wages clerk Ernest Bishop to the bank and then back to the factory. They began to menace Ernest out of the wages he had been preparing. Mike began to wonder what was taking so long and opened the door, knocking Ed, causing him to shoot Ernest, who later died in hospital.
