A serial armed robber who concealed his identity with a clown mask has been jailed for 11 years.
Michael Francis-Dwyer, 24, of no fixed abode, robbed five pubs, including The Merchant Pub next to Clapham Common, and a convenience store over a six week period.
Inner London Crown Court heard that Francis-Dwyer and a group of men would threaten staff with a gun and demand they lay money down on the floor, before forcing them to open the safe and handover cash.
He was arrested on June 24 following a routine stop and search in Clapham Park Road and sentenced on Friday for robbery and possession of a firearm.
