A shotgun- wielding drug dealer who stole bananas, sweets and crisps during a ‘bizarre’ crime spree has been jailed for nine years.

Babatunde Bamtefa targeted shops in Christchurch, Dorset, armed with a Belgian 410 shotgun, on March 18.

He was already on bail after being caught with a chocolate egg filled with heroin.

Bamtefa, 24, of Streatham Hill, south London, admitted 14 counts, including robbery and possessing a firearm, at Bournemouth crown court.
