Thug boasted of 'light work' on Instagram after sentence for crime spree

A 19-year-old man who was jailed over a crime spree in which he stole just £10 has boasted on Instagram that his sentence is "light work".

Jonathon Bran threatened to kill his elderly victim, along with Cameron Hemmings, confronting the 62-year-old as he was walking alone along Chesterfield Canal in Worksop on December 2 last year.

The terrified man decided to jump in the canal in an attempt to escape, with the pair waiting for 15 minutes for him to get out - he eventually fled across the fields and collapsed after climbing over a gate.
