24-year-old Hapless Iverson was caught after robbing a shop because the shop worker – the mum of his ex-girlfriend and the grandmother of his child, recognized him. 

 

Iverson burst into the convenience store holding a 12-inch kitchen knife, demanding cash and calling the shop worker a “bitch.” 

 

The shop worker, Karen Brown, immediately recognized him and called the police right away. 

 

Mrs Brown, 54 said: “He was shouting and swearing and straight away I knew it was him."

“He was one of those people who has a certain type of walk and although he had a scarf around his face and his hood up, I recognised him a mile off.

 

“He was holding the knife up at me, demanding that I opened the till. I think it was half personal and half to line his pockets but he’s stupid and he thought I wouldn’t know it was him.”

 

Meanwhile, Iverson admitted to robbery and possession of a bladed article at the Thoroughgoods shop in Clitheroe, Lancs. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
