Hennells posted the stupid comment on Facebook before robbing a Tesco 
Really? This is just amateurish.

Andrew Hennells told his Facebook friends he was ‘doing Tesco over’ before, well, doing Tesco over.

The 31-year-old robbed the store in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and escaped with £410 on Friday February 13.

A member of the public tipped off police before he hit the store.

Officers later found him splashing the cash down the local boozer.
