A man who robbed a shop in Nottingham while pretending to have a gun has been jailed. Paul McDonald, 48, of St Mary's Court in Derby, stormed into a shop in Wollaton Road on April 14, 2022 and demanded money while aiming something he was hiding under his jumper at a teenage shop worker.
The cashier immediately handed over a small amount of cash after believing the mysterious item being pointed at them was a gun. McDonald then ran out of the store, but the teenage worker then chased him.
The worker then tackled McDonald to the ground, to discover he didn't have a gun, and that it was a rolled-up piece of cardboard he had been hiding.
