Machete-wielding witch jailed for life for armed robbery
A man has been jailed for life following an armed robbery on a supermarket while dressed as a witch.
Nicholas Overton, 39, donned a long black robe, blonde wig and pointed hat as a disguise when he walked into the Co-op store in Newport on 7 July.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the serial robber had travelled from London and pulled out a machete during the raid.
He pleaded guilty to robbery, having an offensive weapon and dangerous driving, and must serve a minimum of four years.
