CCTV footage has revealed how a hapless robber removed his balaclava and fell over a drinks display while attempting to flee an Oxfordshire newsagent.

James Allan's failed raid on Martin's newsagent in Northcourt Road, Abingdon took place ten days after the 29-year-old had tried to rob the very same shop.

Police released the video after he was given a two and a half year jail sentence at Oxford Crown Court.
