This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.

A Coronation Street criminal has been exposed in recent episodes after a robbery twist.

Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) was left shaken when a masked robber raided the shop, stealing a large sum of money from the safe while armed with a wrench.

Aadi reported the theft to the police, but when he pointed out his relief that they were insured, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) grew suspicious.

She was right to be concerned, as it later transpired that Aadi had staged the whole thing!

However, he wasn’t alone – he had also roped in Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) to do the heavy lifting, so to speak.

Unfortunately, Brody didn’t exactly play by the rules, having attempted the robbery in the middle of the day, when Aadi had specified that he do it at night.

As the lads debated the crime and Brody’s payment, they were unaware that Bernie had heard everything, and soon Aadi was forced to confess the truth.

He explained how he had taken out a loan to compensate for over-ordering stock, and that he was now in £6000 of debt.

He revealed that he had taken that amount from the safe in order to pay off the loan, and staged the robbery to claim the money back from the insurance.

Bernie was horrified, but eventually decided to keep quiet about her knowledge of the set-up, citing her desire to keep the peace between the boys and their fathers.

However, as Bernie and Aadi discussed how they were going to keep the secret from Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), they were horrified when he arrived home from his trip unannounced.
