Shop worker defends herself with shoe after robbery

A detective has commended a woman shop worker who tried to hit a robber with her shoe.

Det Con Pete Wise said the woman had shown bravery after Liam Tristram attacked her when robbing a shop in St Johns Street, Peterborough, in June.

Tristram, 35, was given a total prison sentence of nine years by a judge at Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday after being convicted of robbery.

He had denied robbery but was found guilty after a trial in January.
