Pharmacist followed knife-wielding robber to his home after theft of Valium

'He's not very good at crime, he seems to get caught a lot,' judge says

A knife-wielding robber who was followed by a pharmacist after he stole a bag of Valium tablets has been jailed for four years.

Paul Bradley (40) caused a “considerable amount of trauma” to the staff at Liberties Careplus pharmacy when he entered the shop and pointed a 20cm knife at two women working there, Judge Martin Nolan said on Friday.
