A man who robbed an 88-year-old woman in Nottingham city centre has been jailed for three years and seven months.
Liam Peach, from Sovereign Court in Beeston, was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court yesterday after pleading guilty to robbery.
Police said the victim was walking through Exchange Arcade in August last year when the 27-year-old grabbed her shopping bag with her purse inside.
She fell to the floor before members of the public came to help her. She wasn’t seriously hurt but she was left very shaken.
