A heroin addict who snatched handbags and held up a supermarket to pay drug debts has been jailed for nearly 15 years.
Lloyd Jackson, 35, tried to steal a handbag from a woman as she walked into a Woodville electrical store in May 2009.
A day later he attacked an elderly couple visiting their son's grave at Dudley Park cemetery, pushing the man to the ground and stealing the woman's handbag.
Less than a year later, while on bail for those offences, Jackson stole a car parked at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and used it during an armed robbery at a nearby supermarket.
District Court Judge David Smith told Jackson what he did was cowardly because the victims were vulnerable, soft targets.
He sentenced Jackson to 14 years and 10 months in prison with a non-parole term of nearly 10 years.
