Man pleads guilty to knifepoint attack at Manor Road Stores, Scarborough


A Scarborough man has been told to expect jail after he admitted a knifepoint shop robbery.
Nathan Stone, 28, appeared at York Crown Court today (Monday, April 25) when he pleaded guilty to robbing a named woman of cash and cigarettes and carrying a blade at Manor Road Stores in Scarborough.
The incident happened at about 5.15pm on March 30.
Sentence was adjourned for probation reports and a victim statement, but Stone, a stockily built man, was told by Judge Simon Hickey that jail was inevitable “for a knifepoint robbery”.
Mr Hickey said the pre-sentence report would simply determine the length of that sentence.
Stone, of Barrowcliff Road, was remanded in custody until sentence on June 10.
