A robber who left his victim fearing he was going to die after two raids "ransacked" a nursery and stole childrens' iPads.
Peter Bennett, from Walton, was jailed this week after the knife-wielding thug targeted the same convenience store twice within the space of a week. The same terrified employee was on duty alone during both incidents as the 44-year-old stole hundreds of pounds from the till and the staff member later quit his job as he felt unsafe.
The prolific offender has now racked up 52 convictions for 115 offences. One of these saw him jailed in 2017, when Bennett was part of a two-man team who smashed into Rainbow House Nursery - leaving broken glass littering the floor of its toddler room.
