brandishing the "firearm" minutes before staff were due to close for the day.

assumed it to be a firearm. In fact, what was contained within the carrier bag
was the Jex's girlfriend's vibrator. The cashier retreated behind the counter
and he turned the imitation weapon on the shop manager, demanding cash.

outside. Jex visited a local pub "obviously flush with money" to buy friends a
drink. Thanks to Mr Vakani, the robber's hat worn in the robbery and
containing his DNA was discovered nearby
