A man carried out a terrifying robbery in Durham city centre and held a kitchen knife to his victim's throat before stealing £20.
Jordan Gibson demanded money from a man while holding a large knife to his neck, before taking off with the victim's cash. The 27-year-old carried out the "blatant" crime on October 11 this year, but was captured after being identified on CCTV. But merely days after the robbery, Gibson was found in possession of another knife by police and was arrested again.
Gibson, of The Wynd, Pelton, Chester-le-Street, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Tuesday via link from HMP Durham to be sentenced for robbery with a bladed article and possession of a blade. He had pleaded guilty to the offences at a previous hearing.
