On July last year, a man was held inside a house and had one of his toes cut off in a dispute over missing drugs.
At Bristol Crown Court, Waldron was sentenced to 16 years and 3 months imprisonment and Jewell was sentenced to 12 years and 8 months.
CCTV Images Released Following Attempted Armed Robbery
CCTV images of a man officers believe may have important information following an attempted armed robbery at a bank in Walton on Friday 23 January have been released.
Officers were called to Barclays, County Road, at around 3.40pm, following a report that a man armed with what was believed to be some form of firearm had threatened a cashier and demanded cash.
A fogging device installed in the branch was effectively deployed and the offender left empty handed. Patrols attended at the scene and CCTV opportunities in the area have been reviewed.
Police are appealing for witnesses to contact them.
