Robber's gun was a TV remote control

A robber who tried to hold up a Chinese takeaway with a TV remote control has been jailed for four years. William Dunnachie entered the Welcome Inn in Stirling (Scotland) and threatened to "shoot" the owner, Lai Wong.

At the High Court in Edinburgh the 38-year-old, who admitted the attempted robbery in 2005, was told he would be supervised for three years on release.

He received a further two years and three months for admitting being concerned in the supply of diazepam (a drug).
Judge Lady Dorrian also ordered Dunnachie to be supervised for three years after the end of his sentence.
