A PLYMOUTH man who admitted carrying out a knifepoint robbery of a shop on Mutley Plain to fund his cocaine habit has been put behind bars.
Josh Pimlott, of no fixed abode, appeared at Plymouth Crown Court after pleading guilty to two charges. He admitted entering the Premier Store on Mutley Plain at 12.50am on January 31, 2024, where he pulled out a large kitchen knife and brandished it at two shop workers before demanding cash.
Prosecutor Herc Ashworth told the court Pimlott was under a suspended 12-month jail sentence at the time, after threatening a person on a bus with a knife. He said the 27-year-old had walked into the shop wearing a large hoodie outfit and a mask over the lower part of his face before he pulled out a knife with a six inch blade.
He told shopkeepers "give me 40" as he held the knife out towards the faces of the workers behind the counter. One of the shopkeepers opened the register and gave Pimlott £20 but again Pimlott demanded "another 20", still waving the knife aggressively.
