THIS is the chilling moment two masked thieves held up a bookies using an imitation gun and were caught on CCTV pointing the weapon at terrified staff.

His accomplice Kieran Woods, who was wearing a t-shirt over his face, stood as a lookout in the doorway of the William Hill betting shop in Patchway, Bristol.

The pair, on a cocktail of drugs and alcohol at the time of the incident in September, then fled the country.

Police were able to identify the robbers after retrieving clothing stashed in park bins, and a gas-powered BB gun thrown into the long grass which had both their DNA on it.

Humby was cuffed four days later as he got off the Dublin to Holyhead ferry after a long weekend in the Republic of Ireland, and Woods, 22, was arrested soon after.

Humby, of Wall Shut Wood, Stoke Gifford, and Woods, of Coniston Road, Patchway, pleaded guilty to robbery and possessing an imitation firearm.

They were jailed for three years and two years and eight months respectively at Bristol Crown Court.

CCTV footage captured at 3.30pm was shown of bookies staff Eren KInyok and new employee Angela Gwyther handing over bank notes to the robbers.

Mark Hollier, prosecuting, said: "In bins was clothing easily identifiable from the CCTV and in the long grass was a firearm. It was a gas-powered BB gun which was not loaded."

Katie Jenkins, defending Humby, said her client was in a depressed state at the time and everything 'was empty threats'.

Sentencing the pair, Judge Martin Picton said: "It was a really serious offence. The CCTV is chilling.

"Sober, and not affected by drugs, I'm confident you are ashamed of what you did and you should be deeply ashamed."
