On June 8, 2012, two men raided the security office at the Lime Pictures studio set at around 2.15am, wielding a machete and bottle filled with gasoline.
The robbers left the premises empty-handed after finding that the safe on the premises was in fact empty, fleeing the scene.
Lee Skelland, 27, was recently arrested by police, though his accomplice has not been identified.
He pled guilty to two counts of robbery at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday (August 28), while claiming to have no recollection of the night in question.
According to the Liverpool Echo , Judge David Aubrey, QC, said of the claim: "I find that difficult to accept. He must have set it up. He used to work there. That is the overwhelming inference to draw."
The judge sentenced Skelland to five years and four months in prison, admitting he would have handed down an eight-year sentence had it not been for the guilty pleas.
Hollyoaks has had its own running storyline involving the Price Slice armed robbery.
