A crazed shoplifter attacked two women as he launched as rampage inside a charity shop in east Manchester.
Lee Jarvis punched one of the women who was working in the Sue Ryder shop in Openshaw before ripping a stereo from the wall and launching it at her, a court heard. The 45-year-old also threw a plug socket at another worker as he and an accomplice tried to help themselves to donated items in the aisles on November 5 last year.
The court was told how he said 'I'm gonna smash the shop up and then I'm gonna smash you' when the two women confronted him. Jarvis was arrested outside the shop on Ashton Old Road after he ran out.
