Patryk Slepowronski robbed seven stores during his six-month crime spree that took place across Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

He attacked Coops, Tesco Express stores, Morrisons and One Stops between July 2024 and last January.

Wielding a large blade, the hooded thug threatened employees into opening the tills and safes before emptying them of cash.
