Man asked if meat 'was worth losing your life over' in terrifying robbery

A frozen meat thief is now behind bars after he threatened store staff with a hammer, and warned he would kill one of them. Violent Clint Pickering's terrifying rampage began at Farmfoods, Mansfield, where he brazenly loaded a basket with frozen legs of lamb on January 31 last year.

When challenged by a staff member, he pushed her chest with his right hand, causing her to fall to the floor, before he escaped with £125 worth of meat.
