29-year-old Reece James Chilcott, who robbed a shop in Newport on Boxing Day last year, has been jailed for 56 months.
At around 18:00 on 26th December 2019, 29-year-old Reece James Chilcott, also known as Reece Sullivan, entered Central Stores on Hunnyhill in Newport and demanded cash from the tills.
During the incident, he had a knife tucked in his waistband and made threats towards staff.
Chilcott then left the store, having stolen £365 in cash.
He admitted robbery and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place at Isle of Wight Crown Court on Thursday 1st October.
Appearing at the same court today (Monday), Chilcott, of no fixed abode, was jailed for 4 years and 8 months.
Following the sentencing, DC Julia Parker from Newport CID said:
“This was a frightening incident for shop staff who were left in fear for their safety.
