One Stop worker Niall Stranix grabbed Marlon Stewart in a headlock when he threatened a co-worker
In the space of around 20 minutes on July 19 last year, Marlon Stewart, 37, committed 13 crimes, West Yorkshire Police said. He started by buying a bottle of vodka, and then going to Chapel Allerton Park to threaten three men , showing them the handgun he had in his waistband and robbing two of their phones.
It was only minutes later when he arrived at the One Stop store in Chandos Gardens. There, again he threatened the employee behind the counter with his weapon. Stewart hit him with a bottle and cut him, but Mr Stranix held on, in a struggle caught on the shop's CCTV. The gun started to break apart, and police said it's thought it was actually a plastic BB gun.
Stewart pleaded guilty to the offences at Leeds Crown Court on October 28. He was sentenced on Monday to ten years and four months behind bars, with an extended licence period of five years.
