This video shows the moment a hapless robber burst into a convenience shop with a twelve-inch knife – and was recognised by his former mother-in-law.
Kyle Iveson, 24, immediately changed his voice when he realised that that petrified shop worker was former in-law Karen Brown.
He fled from the Thoroughgoods shop in Clitheroe, Lancashire, with £650, but Mrs Brown, 54 – who is the grandmother to his daughter – immediately reported him to police.
Earlier today, Iveson was jailed for three years. His former mother-in-law spoke of how the crime had ruined her life.
Speaking outside Preston Crown Court, she 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.
Karen Brown said that the crime has ruined her life (Picture: Ross Parry)‘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’.
Mrs Brown has said that she is now scared to deal with customers wearing hoodies, and described Iveson, a heroin addict, as ‘extremely aggressive’.
She added: ‘It was terrifying for me and it has ruined my life. It’s no comfort at all knowing he will be out again in no time.
‘I wish I could say he will change but I know he won’t. He picked the shop because he knew I would be working, he knew my shift patterns.

‘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’.
‘My daughter’s relationship with him was a mistake and we try not to have anything to do with him. I have my granddaughter out of it and I wouldn’t change her for the world, but otherwise I wish he didn’t exist’.
Judge Jonathan Gibson jailed Iveson for three years for the February robbery after he pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article and robbery.
