A man who committed a spate of robberies and burglaries across Bristol has been jailed. Greg Cole, of no fixed address, was sentenced to more than eight years in prison at Bristol Crown Court on Monday (January 16).
The 31-year-old committed two robberies, three dwelling burglaries and two non-dwelling burglaries between March and May 2022. He was found guilty of one of the robberies and one dwelling burglary, but pleaded guilty to the other five offences.
At around 7am on Tuesday, March 1, while living in social housing accommodation, Cole entered the room of one of his neighbours and punched him multiple times in the face, demanding his credit cards and PIN number. After failing to get the money, Cole returned and stole the victim’s phone.
