A Bournemouth man's been jailed for four years, for a robbery in the town.

What happened?
On New Year's Day 2022, the victim, who's in his 40s, met Attley on a night out in Charminster Road.
They were drinking together at the Havana Bar and then walked towards the Golden Supermarket area at around 2.15am on Sunday 2nd January.
Outside the shop, Attley punched the man in the mouth and stole his wallet, which contained £50 in cash and bank cards.
The victim's teeth were knocked out in the attack, and he required dental treatment.
Attley was arrested just over half an hour after the incident.
Detective Constable Liam Moss, of Dorset Police, said:
“Attley befriended the victim and socialised with him for a number of hours before assaulting him and stealing his wallet.
“This was an unprovoked incident that understandably left the victim feeling shaken.
“I am pleased that Attley has been held accountable for his actions and I hope this case sends out a message that we take violence on the streets of Dorset very seriously.”
