A Weston man who held up a takeaway where he was a regular customer has been jailed indefinitely.

Twenty-five year old Joe Hodosi threatened staff at Miss Millie's in Locking Road with a shotgun in April, and demanded a hundred pounds.

He was arrested at his then-girlfriend's home just down the road, and told police he'd taken valium and drunk half a litre of Southern Comfort, and couldn't remember the robbery.

A judge has called Hodosi a subtantial risk to the public and he'll serve at least six years.
