A man who threatened to shoot a cashier has been sentenced to 30-months in prison for an armed robbery in Clapham.
Police were called to a shop on Clapham Park Road at around 1.57 am on September 12, 2020.
Steven Faber, 53, entered the shop with a Beretta style handgun and threatened to shoot the cashier unless he handed over money from the tills.
He shouted: "Give me the money or I'll shoot you."
The cashier handed over £130 and Faber fled the scene.
Following an investigation, the Met Police were able to locate Faber through CCTV and arrested him on September 29.
Faber, of Solon New Road, pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of an imitation firearm on Friday ( May 14 ) at Inner London Crown Court.
Detective Constable Stefen Rule, who led the investigation, said: “Weapons have no place on the streets of London.
"Our priority is to protect our communities and target those involved in firearms and violence.
“This case is another good example of the work we do to remove violent offenders from the streets.”
