GARAGE ROBBER JAILED

A man has appeared at Derby Crown Court charged with the robbery at Longmoor Road Service Station in September. Mitchell Gordon, 19, of Cockayne Close, Sandiacre pleaded guilty to the robbery which took place at 8.15pm on Friday, September 16th. Gordon with a mask over his face and wearing sunglasses entered the garage and threatened two members of staff with a knife. He demanded money and was handed over £200 which he put into an orange bag. He later threw the bag containing a pair of tights which he had used for a mask, sun glasses and knife into a bush on nearby Rydal Avenue. Police were called and dog handler Kerri Church and her dog, Tex, found the discarded items in the hedge. Gordon's DNA was found on the tights. The court heard that Gordon had six previous convictions for 10 offences. He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in custody.
