Simon Hirst, mitigating, said Roberts had an unenviable list of previous convictions, including for violence and dishonesty. He had a serious alcohol problem and admitted his behaviour was “shameful and appalling”.

He was jailed for a year and given a two-year restraining order, banning him from the shop and Annaliesa Burton and Shaun Smith.

As he left the dock, Roberts grinned and told the judge: “Nice one.”
