Kyle Iveson is really a dumb crook.

Iveson had burst into the  Thoroughgoods Shop in Clitheroe, Lancashire, armed with a twelve-inch knife shop wearing a mask but when he realised that the petrified Brown worked in the shop, he changed his voice but that did not stop her from recognizing him in the video footage of the raid.

After he stole the sum of £650, Mrs Brown who is the grandmother to his daughter, immediately reported him to police.

Speaking in the Preston Crown Court, Brown 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.

My daughter’s relationship with him was a mistake. He used to take great pleasure in grinning and taunting us when he saw us but we tried to ignore him and not let him get to us.

I’m not surprised he did something like this

I have my granddaughter out of it and I wouldn’t change her for the world, but otherwise I wish he didn’t exist."
