Matthew Ward. Picture North Wales Police A 25-year-old convicted robber was jailed for five years for two further hold-ups at knifepoint at Llandudno shops. Matthew Ward, of no fixed address, admitted robbery and attempted robbery in February. Caernarfon crown court heard he had mental issues and was a serial self-harmer whose family wanted nothing to do with him. “You have a very troubled background. You are in a terrible state,” Judge Timothy Petts told Ward. His licence period was extended by three years. Judge Petts said Ward had covered the lower part of his face with a snood during the raids. “Unsurprisingly both the shopkeepers were very scared and it’s had a significant psychological effect. Shops like these provide an important public service and courts have to protect staff against those who think they might be easy targets.”
