'Girls Aloud' star Cheryl Cole's brother has been charged with robbery following a raid at a post office.Andrew Tweedy, 30, appeared at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court in North Shields alongside Christopher Swindle, 23, and Christopher Finlinson, 22, reports telegraph.co.uk.
Tweedy's girlfriend Emma Stanners, 29 - mother 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. They struck at the Hailsham Avenue post office at around 4 p.m. and escaped with the shop takings.
Cole had said in an interview last year that she hoped fatherhood would help her elder brother change his ways.
"I haven't actually spoken to him for a while, but he's got a baby and I'm hoping that will be his turning point,'' she said.
