The 26-year-old was found guilty of assault and robbery at Edinburgh High Court in January.

Detective Inspector Graham Grant said: “Steven McIvor showed no regard for the welfare of the member of staff during this robbery.

“Thankfully a swift policing response ensured that he was traced and detained quickly.”
