CCTV footage captured at a supermarket in Bristol has revealed the moment staff members bravely attempted to barricade the doors as two burglars tried to smash their way in. The couple, Josh James, of no fixed address, and Bobbie Reynolds, of Leinster Avenue, Bristol, have been sentenced after pleading guilty to multiple offences.
The spate of burglaries and robberies were committed between October 2022 and March this year and included James, 33, brutally smashing his way into the supermarket after a member of staff challenged him for stealing. The staff member, despite seeing that Reynolds had a knife, managed to get the stolen item back without injury.
James responded violently to the challenge by taking the knife from Reynolds and lunging at the store worker. He then kicked the door multiple times, smashing the pane at one point, before leaving the scene.
