Face of 'ringleader' sentenced for terrifying robbery which left victim with autism 'crying himself to sleep'

Police have released the mugshot of a man sentenced for being the 'ringleader' of a terrifying robbery, threatening to kill a man with a fork and a ballpoint pen in Worksop.

It left the victim, who has autism, 'crying himself to sleep' after the incident occurred, as he had a kitchen fork held to his throat and a ballpoint pen pressed against his temples with enough force to hurt him.

Lee Thompson, 26, of Wilton Street, Townhead, Coatbridge, pleaded guilty to robbery, burglary and failure to surrender, and was sentenced to a total of five years and four months at Nottingham Crown court on Thursday (February 10).
