A 23-year-old Essex man who carried out a knifepoint robbery at a service station in Braintree has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Sentencing Jack Bruton to a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, Recorder William Clegg said he was taking an exceptional course by not sending him straight to prison.
Bruton was dressed in black and wearing a baseball hat and a face mask when he entered the Applegreen garage in Rayne Road at around 7pm on March 3 and ordered the manager to hand over money, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
