A man who has 120 previous convictions has been jailed for robbing north Belfast petrol station

Two shop assistants sustained minor injuries while grappling with the robber, the judge said

Judge Smyth, the city's Recorder, said, "Shops and small businesses are frequently manned by young, vulnerable members of staff and strong deterrent sentences need to be imposed in order to protect the public."At 20:30 BST on that date, he entered a service station on Crumlin Road and was recognised by staff.

The employee grabbed his arm to try and prevent the robbery, but Beck pulled her into the plastic screen and she sustained minor injuries.
