Shopkeeper scared off knifeman with a broom
A would-be robber who tried to hold up a Leamington shopkeeper at knifepoint fled empty handed when his victim bravely grabbed a broom to fend him off.
And Warwick Crown Court heard that Calum Reilly had carried out the robbery attempt straight after leaving a nearby appointment with his probation officer.
Reilly (21) of no fixed address, but previously of Goode Close, Warwick, was jailed for three years after pleading guilty to attempted robbery and possessing a bladed article.
