James Ludlow pleaded guilty to attempt robbery, possession of a bladed article, and robbery this week
A MAN has been charged after threatening 'innocent' staff in two separate Lidl stores just weeks after being released from prison.
Police were called to reports of a man with a knife at both Lidl Rosehill and Lidl in Morden last month.
On December 1, Jamie Ludlow entered the first store on Green Wrythe Lane in an attempt to 'purchase alcohol'.
Merton Police said that a cashier tried to assist Ludlow, but was 'quickly met with a threat to stab him’ in a bid to steal money from the till.
