A man has been jailed for ten years for carrying out an armed robbery at a Rotherham bookmakers.
Daryl Garnett, 35, of no fixed address, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday 17 August where he was sentenced for robbery, possession of a firearm and a number of driving offences.
The robbery charge relates to an incident in September 2016 when Garnett entered Ladbrokes on Doncaster Road and threatened staff with a pistol.
Detective Constable Sam Wardman, the investigating officer, said: “This man put staff through a traumatic and terrifying ordeal.
“I am pleased that he has been sentenced to a decade behind bars and hope it will provide some reassurance to those affected by his crime.
“I’d like to thank officers and members of the public who helped with our appeal to catch Garnett and get him in prison where he belongs.”
