A black serial armed robber who wore a latex face mask to make him look like a white man during his crime spree has been jailed for 14 years.

Henley Stephenson, 41, wore the disguise during a 12-year campaign of robberies at betting shops and other stores across London.

He was part of a three-man gang, jailed for a total of 28 years, who committed at least 19 offences across the capital, dating back to 1999.

Police released images of him wearing the latex mask as he was about to hold up a cash delivery outside a Tesco Express store in Harrow, north-west London.

CCTV pictures show him disguised as a bald white man dressed in a fluorescent jacket as he robbed the guard and escaped with £250 cash in March last year.

Police believe the mask may have been used on several other occasions and have asked colleagues to look into unsolved cases involving a white robber.

The mask was bought from the same Covent Garden store which supplied masks that were worn by robbers who carried out a £40million heist at jewellers Graff Diamonds in New Bond Street in 2009.

Stephenson's gang were arrested last July in a Flying Squad ambush as they targeted a cash-in-transit security guard outside Curry's at Staples Corner.
