Kieron Cassidy

The incident occurred at the Locus store on Nursery Lane in Halifax on 12 April.

Kieron Cassidy, 33, pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of a bladed article and was jailed for three years. He was sentenced to an additional two months for four earlier shoplifting offences.

Cassidy entered the store armed with a knife and demanded the till from the store worker. After running off, Cassidy took around £400 from the till before discarding it and the knife.

In May another man, Tyler Griffiths, 23, was jailed for three years for a knife-wielding robbery at another convenience store in Halifax, in Feburary.
