Aberavon man sentenced to 4 years after attempted McDonalds robbery
Corey Evans, aged 23, from Aberavon was sentenced on Tuesday (11 May) to a total of 4 years in person following an attempted robbery.
Evans entered the McDonalds store in Aberavon around 3am on 4 April with a Stanley knife and demanded that staff opened the till. He left empty handed.
South Wales Police Detective Constable Meirian Evans said: “This was a frightening ordeal for the staff, who were left extremely shaken, so I am pleased that he has been sentenced accordingly.
“I would like to reassure the local community that crimes of this nature are rare, however South Wales Police will relentlessly pursue these violent individuals and, together with the courts, ensure they are behind bars.”
