Two men are starting lengthy jail terms after a pensioner was tied up and threatened with a machete, during a burglary at his Weston home.

The 69 year old's car and other items were stolen in the raid last December, during which he was slashed on the leg with the knife by one of the offenders - Dean Cotter.

The 24 year old has been sentenced to 13 years, after denying robbery ... while Jamie Staite, who's 22 and lived with him at a hostel in Dalrymple Road, Bristol - pleaded guilty and has been jailed for seven years.
