He said: "In the early hours of 30th November 2019, Owen was in Cardiff City Centre when he approached a man from behind. Owen punched this man, knocking him unconscious and then left the scene.

"Additionally, on 27th December 2019, Owen approached two men who were sat in a vehicle in Bargoed. He proceeded to make threats with a large knife, stole cash and the vehicle keys and made off in the vehicle.

"Owen has shown remorse for his actions and has admitted these offences.

"These were particularly frightening and intimidating incidents for the victims involved and I hope the sentence given will help provide them with some comfort and closure."
