An Oldham man who robbed and left his victims unconscious has been jailed.
Mason Shaw, 21, of Sharples Hall Street, Oldham pleaded guilty to six counts of robbery and one count of theft from a person.
In September 2016, police received their first report that Shaw had robbed a man in Oldham.
Between this incident in September and 10 December 2016, Shaw committed a further six robberies, targeting people predominately around Manchester’s gay village.
The court heard how Shaw would seek out people from the area, isolating them from the crowd, before strangling them until they lost consciousness.
At this point he would rob them before leaving his victims to come around.
He was sentenced yesterday, 23 August, to 8 years and 9 months in prison with an extended licence of 4 years and 3 months at Manchester Crown Court.
Shaw has also been given a lifetime Criminal Behavioural Order, preventing him from entering Manchester’s gay village.
