A Leeds supermarket was robbed three times in just two weeks, a court has heard.
One staff member at the Co-op on Oakwood Lane said she had to have time off work and has suffered sleepless nights as a result of the raids. In an incident on March 5, serial offender Michael Sayers entered the store demanding cash. But he was caught on CCTV and arrested two days later. The 43-year-old admitted a charge of robbery and was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on Friday .
The last birthday he spent outside of prison was his 18th, 25 years ago. For the defence, Harry Crowson said: “It was a desperate act to commit a robbery of this kind without even wearing a face covering. “He is a man at risk of being institutionalised to the point at which he’s never going to get out and start what could have been his life.
