The court was shown CCTV of Beddows in the shop wearing a balaclava to cover his face, and approaching the till as if he was preparing to buy an item of food. He walked away from the man who had been serving him and towards a female member of staff, again demanding she opened the till. Beddows then ordered the man to hand over 10 packets of cigarettes, 30 vape products and three bottles of alcohol, telling him to put them into the jumper.Mr Edwards said staff at the shop knew Beddows and recognised his voice, meaning they were able to tell police who they were looking for.In an interview with police he immediately admitted he had carried out the robbery, and went on to describe how he did it.
"You will be the first to admit you have been given chances and chances not everyone has been given. And those who have appeared in front of me know that when I can give someone a chance I do so. I gave you that chance in May 2021."
