A man has been jailed for carrying out a knifepoint robbery at a shop near Sutton after staff told him he wasn't allowed to bring his dog inside. Mark Kavanagh, 36, of Brand Lane in Sutton in Ashfield, threatened staff with a blade at a store on High Street in Stanton Hill.
It happened at around 8.30pm on November 23, with Kavanagh having gone into the store with his dog. He is said to have become aggressive when staff said dogs were not allowed inside.
He then grabbed bottles of alcohol from the fridge and put them in a bag before going to the counter and pulling out the knife. Staff put cash inside the bag, with Kavanagh repeatedly banging his clenched fist and the blade against the counter as they did so.
