Burglar threatened to blow up Carlisle sandwich shop
Carlisle Magistrates Court
A burglar who broke into a Carlisle sandwich shop threatened to blow it up when confronted by police, a court has heard.
However the threat by Michael Sirey Parker, 34, of Warwick Road, was said by his own defence solicitor to be laughable, as the gas cooker he threatened to blow up was in fact electric.

Fear: One victim feared violence A thirty-year-old North Cumbrian man has admitted a second offence of subjecting a partner to ‘controlling and coercive’ behaviour. At Carlisle Crown Court, Mark Colin McCarron – formerly of Whitehaven but now living at Station Road, Workington – admitted an offence he committed between December, 2019, and August last year. The court heard that the defendant was already awaiting sentence at the city’s magistrates court for an ‘almost identical’ offence against another woman. The latest offence, committed in the Carlisle area, involved him leaving the victim fearing violence would be used against her on at least two occasions, the court heard.
