Peterborough Crown Court heard how Crow entered the cinema in Tower Field Leisure Park wearing a black balaclava and brandishing a gun, and ordered staff to empty the till. When staff told him they were unable to do so, he turned the gun on members of the public.
He was chased out of the cinema and attempted to escape on a stolen bicycle, but was arrested within minutes by police.
