Two teens who admitted carrying out terrifying knifepoint robberies at homes in Horncastle and Bardney have been locked up for a total of over 12 years.
The man entered his home at 11pm after a night playing snooker but soon realised others were inside his property, the court was told. In a victim impact statement which was read out in court the man described how he now felt “like a prisoner in his own home,” and was left wondering if he could have been murdered if things had happened differently.
Mr Ewing said the second victim, a woman, became aware of three males in her kitchen as she held her puppy and saw one of them holding a knife with a blade she described as about ten inches long.The woman was then made to go outside where her mother was sleeping in a campervan, while a gold watch was taken from inside her home.
Needes, 18, of Bardsey Walk, Horncastle, also admitted two counts of assaulting an emergency worker following his arrest, threatening to stab a police dog and spitting at an officer. The third youth, who has now turned 17 and can not be named, remained outside during the first robbery and did not know a knife was going to be produced, the court was told in mitigation.Needes was sentenced to six years and eight months in a young offenders institution and Walters was sentenced to six years in a young offenders institution and also banned from driving for eight years and five months.
Planned changes make absolutely perfect sense, as Bury St Edmunds found. A longer event, bringing in more visitors but over a longer period, with less overcrowding, less risk of weather cancellation & much greater comfort for everyone. More chance to access shops & stalls too.
So make adjustments so overcrowding isn’t an issue. Are the council really that incompetent that they can’t think about that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a major event which generates millions for the local economy being cancelled because it’s too popular. Absolute insanity
