22-year-old Rudi Batten has been sentenced to six years of prison time after raiding a McDonald’s with a fake gun and demanding nuggets and cash at the register.

Batten threatened the staff at a Yate branch in England, only to be told that they were serving just breakfast, so he took a double-sausage McMuffin and fled with some cash.

The 22-year old entered a guilty plea on two counts of robbery, two counts of possession of an imitation firearm and intent to commit an offence as well as one count of knife possession in a public place.
