This is Theo Gottshalk. He threatened a teenager with a machete in broad daylight in a Nottingham city centre fast food restaurant. He told the boy he would chop his arm off if he refused to hand over his mobile phone. The 20-year-old took the phone, a bracelet, and a chain before fleeing the scene on Woolpack Lane. A few weeks later, someone recognised him on a Nottingham bus and called the police. Officers tracked him down and followed him into the McDonald's on Clumber Street. Gottshalk violently resisted arrest and tried to fight his way out. The struggle ended when a police officer deployed a Taser on the now-shirtless man. As the Taser hit, a large, red-handled machete dropped out of his trousers. It perfectly matched the weapon described by the teenager he had robbed. Police also found Class B drugs hidden on him during the search. It turns out he had also committed two other robberies in Birmingham, and he had previously been caught carrying a converted blank firing pistol. Detective Constable Ben Grayson says Gottshalk thought nothing of putting lives at risk. "He was at this point a danger to the wider public and I am pleased he has now been held to account," he says. Gottshalk was handed an extended 13-year custodial sentence at Birmingham Crown Court.
