A ROBBER who snatched women’s bags at a Bradford shopping centre has been told to expect a “significant” prison sentence.
Marek Rigo, 30, of Heidelberg Road, Bradford, appeared before Bradford Crown Court via video link from HMP Leeds and spoke via an interpreter.
He faces two charges of robbery at the Victoria Shopping Centre on Thornton Road, Girlington, both committed on January 22 this year.
Mr Recorder Anthony Hawks adjourned sentencing to July 16 so that a psychiatric report can be prepared.
He told Rigo: “You have to be sentenced for extremely serious offences of robbery.
“In one of those robberies, a woman sustained very serious injuries.
“It is inevitable that you are going to receive a significant sentence of imprisonment.”
Rigo was remanded in custody.
