Armed robber faces long jail term
Paul James Jackson, of Crompton Avenue, Sprotbrough, was found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court of robbery and possession of an imitation firearm following a six-day trial.
He repeatedly threatened to shoot staff at a post office in Scawthorpe, Doncaster, before stealing cash and stamps and escaping by motorbike last October.

Det Con Adam Watkins said: “Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident but this was incredibly traumatic for the staff inside the post office who were subjected to a shocking ordeal.
“Jackson was identified through some excellent work by Doncaster CID, and is now likely to be looking at a lengthy prison sentence.”
Jackson (39) was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the same court on June 5.
A second man arrested in connection to the incident was released and faces no further action.
