A homeless 74-year-old man who robbed a bank because he was desperate to return to jail has been granted his wish - a five-year sentence.
Robert Newnham told staff at the Halifax in Dorchester, Dorset, that he had a gun and demanded £1,000.
Newnham, who had been just released from jail, later told police it was easier to rob a bank than try to organise his pension.
He admitted one count of robbery at Dorchester Crown Court.
