Man Jailed for Needle Robbery Attempt

0:00On April 17th, a 40-year-old man named Craig Noble just got locked up for trying to rob a convenience store in Nottingham with a hypodermic needle. As his weapon, on November 1st, 2025, he strolled into the Morrison's daily on Brock's Toe Lane and Asply, grabbed a basket of goods, and when staff called him out, he pulled the needle and threatened to stab them. Staff stayed sharp and noticed him come back about 30 minutes later, so they dialed up the cops right away. Neighborhood officers were patrolling nearby and zeroed in on him from the description, naving him quick with a benedal in his pocket dead, mashed exactly what the workers saw.
