A Paisley thug is facing jail after punching a shopkeeper in the face during a terrifying Boxing Day raid.
Christopher Holland, 34, and another male attempted to raid the till at the Best-one convenience store on St James’ Street in the town at 10.30am on December 26 last year.
The brute, described as a prisoner of Low Moss jail, East Dunbartonshire, admitted threatening shop owner Zeeshan Saeed, pinning him to a chair, repeatedly punching his face, holding him in a headlock and stealing £50 worth of cigarettes.
