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.
He then struck at Poundland, St. Peter's Retail Park, in Mansfield, on February 23 last year. Wearing a scarf over his face, he threatened staff with a hammer and stole washing tablets. He swung the hammer at one worker, saying "is it worth losing your life over?"
