Pulling out a Stanley knife, he threatened the victim, before lowering it and walking away.

Brown, of Stirling Square, Godmanchester, had stolen £75 worth of food, including five gammon joints and two steaks, from the town’s Co-op in Ermine Street.

He pleaded guilty to theft, actual bodily harm, possession of cannabis and possession of a knife in public and was jailed for two years and one month at Peterborough Crown Court last Friday (17 January).

Brown also admitted driving whilst disqualified and dangerous driving in relation to an attempt to evade police in Cambridge on 12 June, 2023, when he drove at speeds of more than 60mph in 20mph zones.

He received a further disqualification from driving for four years and nine months.

Det Con Kieran Wickens, who investigated, said: “Brown clearly has no regard for the law, and his anti-social, violent and dangerous actions will not be tolerated.

“This sentence reflects how seriously police, and the courts take this type of behaviour.”
