Robber jailed for knifepoint raid

    A man in his late 20s has been jailed after he carried out a knife-point attack.

    The incident that took place last year in October saw Luke Butler, threatening his victim with a knife, trying to get into the till and stealing £47.

    The 26-year-old, of Woodside, Shipley, was arrested in his parents’ home after his father contacted the police.

    Butler pleaded guilty to offences of robbery and possessing a dangerous weapon. The judge sentenced him to three years and four months.
