Corby would-be-robber back behind bars after trying to steal motorbike
A repeat offender from Corby has been given a long jail term after trying to rob a motorbike.
Connor Campion, of Sutherland Road, Corby admitted an offence of robbery and possession of a knife after a jury had been sworn in at Northampton Crown Court earlier this week.
The 32-year-old had been due to stand trial on a string of charges.
During one incident in Sutherland Road on January 14 this year, he was said to have robbed £50 from a man while wielding a knife. On the same day he went to the hamlet of Saxby in Leicestershire where he attempted to rob a victim of a motorbike, again while carrying a knife.
Campion admitted the Saxby incident on the day of trial and the Corby robbery and knife possession were left to lie on file.
The defendant has a long history of driving and violence offences on his record.
He was jailed for four years and eight months.
