Her accomplice pulled out a knife and threatened staff

Toni Danielle Knowles was one of three people who entered the Tesco Express store on Easterly Road on the Hollin Park area at around 6am on December 3 last year.

Leeds Crown Court was told that one of the group, a man who has not been identified, pulled out a knife in the store and demanded a member of staff open the till. After grabbing cash, he then ordered the safe be opened but was told it was not possible, so told the terrified worker to fill a bag full of cigarettes, prosecutor David Hewitt said.While this was happening, Knowles spoke with another member of staff, distracting him by talking about the weather as the third man tried to shoplift chocolate and coffee.

As security staff stepped in to stop Knowles and the shoplifter leaving, Knowles shouted: “Your mate is already on the phone to the police, you have just been robbed.”
