A thief held up the same Ayrshire shop twice within months after claiming he needed cash to feed his child.

Taylor Wilson carried out the raids at Knockinlaw Stores in Kilmarnock.

Staff were left terrified after Wilson demanded cash at knifepoint.

The 35-year-old now faces jail after pleading guilty to two assault and robbery charges.

Wilson escaped with £115 during the first incident in December before returning in February to take £100.

Lord Matthews deferred sentencing for reports at the High Court in Glasgow.

The judge said: "It strikes me that I may be looking at an extended sentence."

Wilson will return to the dock on August 3 in Aberdeen.
