A would-be armed robber who attempted to hold up a Norwich pharmacy had his case adjourned for an assessment on the danger he posed.
James Youngers, 41, walked into Vauxhall Street Pharmacy, in Suffolk Square, Norwich, just after 2pm on Friday, October 16 last year, and confronted owner Maz Moaddabi, who was behind the counter.
Youngers, who was armed with an imitation gun, fled after Mr Moaddabi started to shout and asked him to leave.
Youngers was arrested shortly afterwards.
Youngers, of Dibden Road, Norwich, pleaded guilty to the attempted robbery and possession of an imitation firearm at an earlier hearing.
