A YOUNG man's attempt to rob a service station was thwarted with the attendant ran away, the Supreme Court has heard.
Father-of-one Bradley William Rootes, 21, tried to hold up a BP Service Station at Devonport because he owed an ex-girlfriend money.
He walked into the service station on August 17 wearing a balaclava and a hooded jumper and told the attendant he had a gun.
But the attendant ran to a safe room and pressed a duress alarm. Rootes yelled at him to come back, but the man ignored him.
Overlooking the unattended cash register, the hapless bandit fled but was caught by police a short time later.
He pleaded guilty to attempted armed robbery.
Supreme Court Justice Shan Tennent said Rootes was no criminal mastermind.
"I would have to say that the whole enterprise was very lacking in sophistication," she said.
"While there was an element of planning, you clearly had not thought the matter through at all."
The judge imposed a six-month jail term, suspended on the condition of a three-year good behaviour bond.
