Bodycam footage captured the moment an armed robber returned to a house to find police waiting to arrest him.
Jack Holland-Batt, 31, of no fixed address, threatened staff with a knife at businesses in Gillingham on 25 November 2024, taking around £20 from a pharmacy before demanding money from an amusement arcade and a third business.
Following the robberies, Holland-Batt contacted Kent Police confessing to his crimes but not specifying where he was. He was arrested as he approached the front door of an address he frequented.
Holland-Batt was charged with two robberies, an attempted robbery and possessing a bladed article in a public place. He pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court and on Tuesday 11 March, was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment.
