A Chippenham man will spend Christmas in prison after admitting his part in an attempted armed robbery in the town last summer.
Father-of-one Kristian Cleverley – who is widely known as Crackhead Kris – had denied his involvement at an early hearing but this week, days before his upcoming trial admitted attempted robbery at a flat in Royal Close.
The 32-year-old, of Moyne Close, Devizes, faces a lengthy prison sentence following his admission when he appeared before Swindon Crown Court via video link from prison.
He’s said to have armed himself with a metal bar and hit his victim with it in the incident.
His accomplice, 28-year-old Stacey Kibble, of Swann Court in Trowbridge, pleaded guilty to an attempted robbery at an earlier hearing. She will be sentenced in the new year.
