A ‘desperate’ man who carried out an armed robbery at a Tesco Express store just half a mile from his Warwick home was quickly arrested – because the staff had recognised him.
Jack Stopps pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to carrying out the robbery at the store in Chase Meadow Square and possessing an offensive weapon during the raid.
And Stopps (37) of Shakespeare Avenue, Warwick, thanked the judge after being jailed for two years and 10 months, saying he had been ‘thinking it was going to be much worse.’
